I am trying to install a local copy of git on a Linux machine that is not connected to the internet and I don't have root privileges on. I can download and transfer things to this machine, but that is it. I think this should be possible, but have had no luck with the things I have tried. Thanks you for any advice.

Are you able to build Git from source? Do you have all the dependencies already installed? If so, I have sometimes used the Git binary in the build folder when testing a new feature I was working on because I didn't want to install an unstable version on my system. It worked fine for the most part, though I admit I didn't really use a whole lot of things other than commit and some worktree commands. Maybe something like that would work for you? You can download a tarball from kernel.org [0]. If you can't, maybe you can try building Git on a machine you _do_ have internet and root access on, and then copy over the binaries? Again, I haven't played around a whole lot with something like this so I can't say if it'll work. Something to try I guess.

I was able to build it from a tarball, but it was certainly not straightforward. After a failed attempt and more research I came to the following that works. $ tar -zxf git-2.9.4.tar.gz $ cd git-2.9.4 $ make configure $ ./configure --prefix=/ <my directory> $ make && make install Regards, Jordan -----Original Message----- From: Pratyush Yadav <me@yadavpratyush.com> Sent: Thursday, April 9, 2020 3:08 AM To: Jordan <jordan.az@samsung.com> Cc: git@vger.kernel.org Subject: Re: Installing git questions I can't find an answer to.
