title: Unable to update Git on Ubuntu
body: <p>I am trying to set up Git on an Ubuntu Machine (I'm using a Samsung Chromebook running Ubuntu 12.04). </p>
  
  <p>When I entered "sudo apt-get install git" and it successfully installed Git 1.79</p>
  
  <pre><code>user@ChrUbuntu:~$ git --version
  git version 1.7.9.5
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I can't figure out what I am doing wrong here. Any suggestions?</p>
