IBM provides git packages for AIX here:
https://www-03.ibm.com/systems/power/software/aix/linux/toolbox/alpha.html
It's git 2.12.0, so it's not the very latest version of git, but it's
not bad for AIX.

I have git on my portal www.aixtools.net (See
http://www.aixtools.net/index.php/git)
These are installp packages - and what you install, you can uninstall.
There are some dependencies (e.g., python, gnu grep, and a few
others). Can't say I use it daily, but I do use it weekly.
For additional questions or issues with this packaging - please post
on http://forums.rootvg.net/aixtools - I see that a lot sooner than
any email (on gmail).
HTH,
Michael
