HOW to uninstall GIT old version on CentOS7?

Hello everyone!! This is a common requirement of every GitOps engineer task.  After a while the older version you may not feel to continue once you see the latest version same way for Git.

Uninstall Git from CentOS

Assuming that you have Linux box already Git installed and want to remove it due to:

  1. Git long back on a CentOS7. 
  2. The installed version with yum command might be pulled older version due to repo not sync with the latest Git changes 
First you need to check your git version using

git --version

Let see this Example: 
[vagrant@mydev ~]$ git --version
git version 1.8.3.1

Here to uninstall you need root access, switch to root user 
sudo -i

Sample
 [vagrant@mydev ~]$ sudo -i [root@mydev ~]#

 If you installed git by using yum package manager then same will be used to remove it. yum remove git 

[root@mydev ~]# yum remove git
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

---> Package git.x86_64 0:1.8.3.1-20.el7 will be erased
...
Dependency Removed:
  perl-Git.noarch 0:1.8.3.1-20.el7

Complete!
