I follow the steps in Upgrade Git version on Ubuntu 14.04, but when I enter the first step command: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa, I receive the following error:

FileNotFoundError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/etc/apt/sources.list.d/git-core-ppa-trusty.list'

you can check the following picture for detail:

With this error, when I continue to enter the remaining 2 commands, I failed to upgrade my git version. Hope someone know this problem can help me out, thank you.

Your initial error (the Python FileNotFoundError) is most likely caused because the directory /etc/apt/sources.list.d inside which add-apt-repository tries to create a sources file does not exist, for whatever obscure reason.

To fix this, simply create this directory manually with e.g. this command:

sudo mkdir /etc/apt/sources.list.d
