Installing Latest version of git in ubuntu

The Ubuntu git maintainers team has a PPA just for that

ppa:git-core/ppa

Just do:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git

Error: Unable to locate package add-apt-repository

If add-apt-repository command is not found, install it first with:

sudo apt-get install software-properties-common

Error: failed to start the dirmngr

If you receive the error:

gpg: failed to start the dirmngr '/usr/bin/dirmngr': No such file or directory

then, install dirmngr with:

sudo apt install dirmngr --install-recommends
