Git can be found in the EPEL (Fedora Project) complimentary packages repository. The command to install the package will be similar to the following user@computer:$ rpm -Uvh http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/epel-release-5-3.noarch.rpm Remember to sanity check this against your RHEL version… Kubuntu is currently my desktop OS of choice for 40+ hours a week of paid eye strain.
