3. cd /usr/local/src/git-master
4. make prefix=/usr/local all
5. make prefix=/usr/local install

If this error is reported: make: * [git-credential-store] Error 1
Solution:

cd /usr/local/src/
wget http://ftp.gnu.org/pub/gnu/libiconv/libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
tar -zxvf libiconv-1.14.tar.gz
cd libiconv-1.14
./configure - prefix=/usr/local/libiconv && make && sudo make install
Then go back to git to continue compiling:

1. cd /usr/local/src/git-master
2. make configure
3. ./configure –prefix=/usr/local -with-iconv=/usr/local/libiconv
4. make

5. make install
