Hi,
I'm trying to add git functionality to a production CentOS 5.5 system that has no development tools (since it is a production system). So I don't have access to make/gcc/etc. I basically want to install Git to be able to easily & quickly synchronize a website dir with my Git repo, so I have no need for compiling any source files. I do not have root access, and for obvious reasons, root is does not want to install Git on a prod system, but is okay if I can set it up locally for my own use. I've tried to download and unpack a git-core.rpm into my home dir and although I am able run some functionality of git, none of git's dependencies are where it expects them and so it fails. My structure looks like the following: ~/git ~/git/usr ~/git/usr/bin ~/git/usr/share ~/git/usr/share/doc ~/git/usr/share/git-core ~/git/usr/share/locale ~/git/usr/share/man When I run something like git help clone, I get an error msg No manual entry for git-clone. This is confirmed by git --man-path (/usr/share/man). Other commands fail similarly. How can I tell git to use ~/git as the root instead of / as the root to all git dependencies without recompiling? I cannot seem to find any environment vars or git vars that I can set. Thanks! Eric --
