Daniel Adriaansen (Oct 12 2023 at 18:49): Daniel Adriaansen (Oct 12 2023 at 18:49):Does anyone know why the version of git (/usr/bin/git) on the Casper login node is different than the Cheyenne login nodes? Casper shows git version 1.8.3.1 while Cheyenne shows git version 2.26.2. Derecho shows from /glade/u/apps/derecho/23.06/opt/bin/git, 2.40.0. Would it be possible to align Casper with either Cheyenne or Derecho? I guess probably Derecho?

I think you can load versions 2.22 or 2.33.1 as modules on both casper and cheyenne. Not sure what Derecho has or if this is helpful. Just something I learned from wanting an updated version from the default a while back.
Daniel Adriaansen (Oct 12 2023 at 19:01):Indeed, module load git on Casper gives me 2.33.0. Thanks @Katelyn FitzGerald !
Brian Vanderwende (Oct 17 2023 at 18:03):The Cheyenne and Casper versions are based on the operating system installs (if you don't load a module as Katelyn suggested. We will be syncing Casper with Derecho as far as git versions go during the outage later this month, so you should see a similar default version in a couple of weeks. Cheyenne will have the older default version until it is retired at the end of this year.
