Direct download git without installer

How might I be able to download git (console or UI, I don't care which) without using the installer (direct download) on mac. Maybe there is a possibility of having an app on the desktop that I can launch?

I just realized that git was already installed on my mac, but the previous two answers were good as well.

You can do it with Homebrew :

brew install git

Or compiling from source (as described at git-scm.com) :

// get tar via curl, wget.. then :

tar -zxf git-1.7.2.2.tar.gz
cd git-1.7.2.2
make prefix=/usr/local all
sudo make prefix=/usr/local install
