Download all the files that you required for git installation.
Install all required library before you continue building git if you haven't done this before or if your RHEL 6 is a fresh install.
Now let's make this a straightforward approach because the reason why you're reading this blog is to know how to install GIT to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6) and I hope I am not required to explain all the command.
rayarn@erp: wget http://git-core.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.7.1.tar.gz
rayarn@erp: wget -O git-manpages-1.7.7.1.tar.gz http://code.google.com/p/git-core/downloads/detail?name=git-manpages-1.7.7.1.tar.gz&can=2&q=
Install all required library before you continue building git if you haven't done this before or if your RHEL 6 is a fresh install.
rayarn@erp: sudo yum install zlib-devel
rayarn@erp: sudo yum install perl-CPAN
rayarn@erp: sudo yum install gettext
Now let's make this a straightforward approach because the reason why you're reading this blog is to know how to install GIT to Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 (RHEL 6) and I hope I am not required to explain all the command.
rayarn@erp: tar xvfz git-1.7.7.1.tar.gz
rayarn@erp: cd git-1.7.7.1
rayarn@erp: ./configure
rayarn@erp: make
rayarn@erp: sudo make prefix=/usr install
rayarn@erp: git --version

Thanks a lot
finally a working instruction. Thx allot!
Can we install GIT 1.7.3 on RHEL 6?
Please reply
I haven't tried GIT 1.7.3. I used version 1.7.7. You can find GIT RPM from this URL [http://pkgs.repoforge.org/git/] if you want to try a different approach using RPM.
