Yeah, the release announcement from the project is at:

The binary installs for MacOS are done by a third party, and sometimes
lag the source releases. You can build it from source yourself, either
from a tarball:

  https://git.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/git-2.17.1.tar.gz

or by cloning with git:

  https://kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git

There are some instructions in the INSTALL file, which you can also read
online:

  https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/INSTALL

You can also use Homebrew to install, which usually updates to new
versions pretty promptly:

  https://brew.sh/
