How Upgrade Git 1.8 to >=2 – CentOS

I have setup Git in VSC version 1.8.3 (Centos 7 box), since a couple of months whenever I open VSC I get a notification to update to a version greater than 2. I click on update, I get forwarded to an external url to download git. I understand that an extension should get updated by VSC. Can you please let me know the steps to follow to upgrade? Thanks

The exact notification is:

You seem to have Git 1.8.3.1 installed. Code works best with Git >=3
Source : Git Extension Manage UPDATE Dont show again

Clicking on “Manage Extension” VSC code displays details of the extension, what is strange is when I click on installed extensions, I don’t see Git extension

    Install git, systemwide, from the official git website – or your OS’ built-in package manager: https://www.git-scm.com/

    You can verify git by opening a new terminal window and just running git --version. If that’s up-to-date but VSC still reports you’re running an older version (after restarting VSC, for good measure) then check you don’t have another copy of git on your computer or in VSC’s PATH environment variable.

    Had the same problem. Just found a working solution.
    Git is installed by itself, it is not an extension. VSC is finding and using Git that is available on your system.

    Solution from this post worked for me(the second solution from the accepted answer):

    sudo yum -y install  https://packages.endpointdev.com/rhel/7/os/x86_64/endpoint-repo.x86_64.rpm
sudo yum install git

    I’m on CentOS 7
