After that $ git --version shows:
git version 1.8.2.1
It looks like git 2.x was installed but I can continue getting the old version.
Updates:
I have already tried this: Git 1.7.9.5 Upgrade to current release of GIT 2.x on ubuntu 12.04
dpkg -L git see: https://gist.github.com/montogeek/e7bedaf03cef9a3d969b
which git: /usr/local/bin/git
You need to add the Git Maintainers repository in order to get the latest Git version.
Please run these commands in order:
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install git
Then, check the version of the installed Git:
git --version
It's not always necessary to remove the existing Git before upgrading it, but if you run into any problems, do the following and then repeat the steps mentioned above:
sudo apt-get remove git
