Instructions
Instructions for SSH and Plesk are included in this article. cPanel does not have an extension or utility for Git, but it is installed on cPanel servers by default and may be used.
Via SSH
Git is included in the repositories for most major Linux package managers, including yum and apt. By connecting to your Media Temple server via SSH, you can easily install Git.
Plesk users: It is recommended that you install and manage Git using the extension included with Plesk version 17 and above. If you choose to install manually via SSH, it is safest to update your server using the update utility in the Plesk panel, rather than using yum. Using yum to update a Plesk install may cause problems with your Plesk installation.
