I have tried to install git-2.20.4-1.aix6.1.ppc.rpm from the IBMtoolbox but I am getting dependencies mismatches and dependency problems. Does anyone have a procedure or process to install git on AIX 7.2 ? Thank you,

Hello,

The easiest way would be to set up yum, or even better - dnf, on your AIX host. I've recently come across a post about setting up dnf on AIX (didn't test it yet though):

https://community.ibm.com/community/user/power/blogs/sangamesh-mallayya1/2021/05/28/dnf-is-now-available-on-aix-toolbox?s=03

If configuring yum/dnf is not an option, you could download git rpm, along with all of it's dependencies from AIX Toolbox manually, place them on your AIX host in one directory and install with "rpm -Uhv /path/to/dir/*.rpm".

Here is a full list of dependencies that "repotrack" utility resolves for the git rpm on a yum-enabled AIX 7.2 box:
