Everything except git pull works and I was wondering if you had any idea about it. $ git pull origin master git: 'pull' is not a git-command. See 'git --help'.

Also included a link to the built tar file, though it may only work in my directory. I also made the Amazon AMI I used public: ami-5759be3e I’ve updated the post so that it completes the instructions on how to install the git_root.

It might work if you did the git via ssh mode though. But all the other stuff where you are pushing and pulling from the hostgator seems to work for me (at least the things I need to do) It does look like I did not complete the part about git_root. I will fix that shortly. Not sure what happened there! @Dan Van Derveer Did you want the Amazon AMI or the tar of the built git_root? I might be able to do both. @Shu; I can still run git on hostgator. I just checked. You need to put the where the new git is located into your path PATH=/home/clientname/git_root/bin:$PATH and execute it without the ./ in front. And/or use the full path to git like: /home/clientname/git_root/bin/git Sorry hadn’t seen these comments till now!

I just did a git build similar to what you described to be run on hostgator, but I'm getting "-jailshell: ./git: cannot execute binary file" Can you still run git on hostgator?
