Sorry for late reply. If you are working on Ubuntu 12.04, libgit2-dev is
not officially available.
So, for adding libgit2-dev, one has to use an unofficial PPA. Given below
are the steps to install it in Ubuntu 12.04

1. Add the unofficial PPA by executing this command on the terminal: sudo
add-apt-repository ppa:xav0989/libgit2
2. Update your package lists by executing this command : sudo apt-get update
3. Finally install the required package: sudo apt-get install libgit2-dev

Try it. It might help.
