Yes I found a home/{myname}/bin and a home/{myname}/share filled with
files related to documentation. My uname is:

$uname -s
Linux

My PATH environment variable is:

$env
...
PATH=~/bin:/home/{myname}/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/g
ames:/usr/games:/usr/sbin:/sbin
...

This means that my /home/fabio/bin is in my PATH (fabio is my name;-)).
What are the implications?

So, is it enough to delete all files related to the git installation in
the two directories /home/fabio/bin and /home/fabio/share?

Are there some other places where I have to delete things?

In a nutshell my fear is that the make install I did could interfere
with the git package installed on my machine. 

Thank you.

Fabio.
