I checked in the Git official website and indeed there is only information on installation with the package manager, there are no other option apart from that.They say: "It is easiest to install Git on Linux using the preferred package manager of your Linux distribution" and nothing else. Surely "easiest" does not mean "the only way", but I suppose can be interpreted as "preferable" when no alternative method is mentioned.

Obviously, however, there should be no harm in installing the latest
version. Did you install from the PPA or build it yourself?
