I'm on openSUSE ver 12.2. My git seems to be installed in /usr/lib.
rnx@linux-sh2d2:~> git --version
git version 1.7.10.4
rnx@linux-sh2d2:~> which git
/usr/bin/git
rnx@linux-sh2d2:~> cd /usr/bin/
rnx@linux-sh2d2:/usr/bin> ls -l git
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 Jan 10 01:23 git -> ../lib/git/git-add
I have already done a zypper remove. Now when I say zipper remove git it shows:
Loading repository data...
Warning: Repository 'openSUSE-12.2-Update' appears to outdated. Consider using a different mirror or server.
Reading installed packages...
Package 'git' is not installed.
'git' not found in package names. Trying capabilities.
No provider of 'git' is installed.
Resolving package dependencies...
Nothing to do.
but with which git or git --version I get the same result as noted earlier (above).
My intention is to update git. I tried cloning:
git clone https://github.com/git/git
It says:
fatal: destination path 'git' already exists and is not an empty directory
I know it's not empty.
I did a zypper search git. The result is:
