+===== Building Git =====
+In Ubuntu, get some dev libs first:
+<code bash>
+sudo apt-get install libssl-dev libcurl4-gnutls-dev gettext
+</code>
+There was [[https://lore.kernel.org/git/xmqq5xg2wrd1.fsf@gitster.g/|a security fix in 2.50.1]], so here we get that one:
+<code bash>
+git clone --filter=blob:none -b v2.50.1 --single-branch --no-tags https://github.com/git/git
+# or: git clone --branch v2.50.1 --depth 1 https://github.com/git/git
+# or even: wget https://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.50.1.tar.xz
+make prefix=$HOME/.local -j$(nproc)
+make prefix=$HOME/.local install
+</code>
+This will put git in ''$HOME/.local/bin/''
+===== Using Git =====

+  * Set "git config receive.denyCurrentBranch updateInstead" Git blocks pushes to active branches by default. This tells it to accept them and update files automatically.
+  * Create a .git/hooks/post-update that triggers a rebuild or restarts services.
+  * Tell git to host the remote repo with "git update-server-info"
