Hello,
I have searched the internet and can find no answer to my dilemma. 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.
Regards
Jordan

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.

Hello Pratyush,
Thanks for the reply. 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
