There are a number of ways. You can use the prebuilt git package or one 
of it's variants or substitutes. If you prefer to build git yourself, 
you can use the upstream source or fetch the ports tree tar from:

https://download.freebsd.org/ftp/ports/ports/

and use that to build git. Or you could simply delete your tree and 
re-fetch the tarball each time you update, if you prefer. I'm sure there 
are others I'm forgetting, but either way the choice is yours.

Cheers,

Steve
