I am hosting a website in Godaddy web hosting. I want to install Git. I am using SSH to connect to my site. I find this link from Godaddy How to install Git in Linux web hosting. I followed their instructions. When I reach:

wget https://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz

I get:

xxx@xxx [/home]$ wget https://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz

It seems the file in the link does not exist any more. Can you please suggest to me how can I install Git in Godaddy web hosting? I am a Windows user with little familiarity in Linux.

You can retrieve the file from the Google Code Archive.

See in particular git-core, which contains a link to git-1.8.1.2.tar.gz.

You could, of course, consider using the latest version which is git-1.9.0.tar.gz.
