Bitbucket installation error- Git version not supported

[LokanaSM]

Hi Team,

We are trying to install Bitbucket 5.10.1 on Redhat server version (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 7.4 (Maipo))
and getting below error, i have installed git by using yum install git and the git version is 1.8.3.1.
Could you please help on this.

Unsupported Git version found [1.8.3.1]. Please upgrade Git to a supported
version before installing Bitbucket.
See http://go.atlassian.com/installgit for more information.
NOTE: If you proceed without a working Git, Bitbucket won't be able to start
after installation until a working Git is found.
If you proceed without a working Git, Bitbucket won't be able to start after installation.
Are you sure you want to continue?
Yes [y, Enter], No [n]

Thanks

f you know this kind of things, in 2018 and you work at  Atlassian why don't you update youre installer in 2019 ?

I am trying to install on our Centos  7.6.1810  version 6.1 of Bitbucket and I getting a link to this  http://go.atlassian.com/installgit    completely useless.

Why should we pay you for this kind of shit ? sorry I am updating our Confluence Jira and Bitbucket servers and I amreally pissed of about  the support you Atlassian guys deliver !!

Bye the way the link above also doesn't work !! Not at this moment.

I also find the answer misleading, because the "latest" version of git on CentOS 7.9 is git-1.8.3.1-24.el7_9.x86_64.rpm and does NOT work with Bitbucket.  Bitbucket will come up and refuse to start because the version is "too old".

We had to custom-build a version of git just to make it work, and now since there was a VULN announced, we are re-building the package to current build on scm.

But the thing is the version C79 distributes, has all security patches to-date. So it would be just feature releases of 2.8+ would be important.

However, Atlassian clearly says "We recommend using the most recent supported version of Git on both the Bitbucket instance and clients where possible," in https://confluence.atlassian.com/bitbucketserver/supported-platforms-776640981.html which is not exactly true.

There should be clear Bitbucket versions with matching Git versions to suggest what exactly will work, not "recommend" but "requires".

Thanks.
