title: Installing Latest version of git in ubuntu
body: <p>My Current git version 1.7.9.5...</p>
  
  <p>I need to upgrade to at least git 1.7.10 to have <code>git clone</code> command to work properly</p>
  
  <p>I tried <code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa</code> for upgrading but resulted in this : </p>
  
  <pre><code>Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/bin/add-apt-repository", line 125, in &lt;module&gt;
      ppa_info = get_ppa_info_from_lp(user, ppa_name)
    File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/softwareproperties/ppa.py", line 80, in get_ppa_info_from_lp
      curl.perform()
  pycurl.error: (7, "couldn't connect to host")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I supposed to do to get the latest git installed (to upgrade)? </p>
