title: How do I completely uninstall git from my Linux Machine
body: <p>I had installed git by downloading the tar ball and then doing the following steps</p>
  
  <pre><code>./configure --prefix=/scratch/custom/git
  
  make 
  
  make install
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But after running these commands, I still see that git is created under <code>/usr/local</code> as below</p>
  
  <pre><code>bash-4.1$ whereis git
  git: /usr/bin/git /usr/local/git /usr/share/man/man1/git.1.gz
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I would like to remove and reinstall again how do i do the same?</p>
