Moving a Git install on Linux

Question

It would seem I've installed git in the following directory:

/root/bin/git

(Not quite sure how, to be honest.)

And therefore rendered git unaccessible to anybody other than the root user.

Can I simply move the files to /usr/bin (or similar) or do I have to uninstall and reinstall.

If uninstall is required, how should I do that?

Answer 1

Installing git places the lot of internal commands in $PREFIX/libexec/git-core (where $PREFIX is as set by ./configure --prefix=...), and the git executable runs them from there. It also looks for configuration in $PREFIX/etc/, and so on. Can't just move the executable around, and moving the installed files won't help either.

Answer 2

In many system $HOME/bin is put to $PATH using either .bashrc or /etc/bashrc. Thats why in your case only root can able to access git as its installed in roots home. But no one else.

The only solution is to remove that git. Install git system wise.

yum install git-core

or

apt-get install git-core

If git was installed in /root as prefix you might find usr, etc, lib etc directories in /root folder. Remove them too. Also make sure any other software didn't get installed like git.
