When you do this for the first time, you'll get this message: Okay, with that disclaimer out of the way, let's continue. If you follow these steps precisely, you won't be at risk, but please do not start using "sudo", or editing system files if you're not exactly sure what you are doing. We'll be using "sudo", (which stands for super user do) which allows you to perform actions that standard users are not allowed to, in order to protect them from accidentally messing up their systems.

(If you're not familiar with VI, I'd encourage you to checkout the " Command Line Basics" series on this site to get familiar with it.)īefore I proceed, I want to mention that what we're going to do could be harmful to your machine if done improperly.

This means that my Mac is trying to load the "Apple version" of Git before the one we just installed, and since it's not there, we're prompted to install it. When I do that, you'll notice that "/usr/local/git/bin" is at the end of the line.

I'll walk you through these steps now, but it's a good idea for you to open this up and read through it yourself in case there's an update in the future. Download the latest version of Git for Mac.īefore we begin the installation process, I'll open up the README.txt file that comes with the disk image.Instead, install Git using the official installer from the Git website because it's a more recent version. So, if your only reason to install the command line developer tools is to utilize Git, I'd recommend not installing them at this time. While it is an easy way to get Git installed on your system, it comes with an outdated version. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.Īnd a pop up comes up asking you to install either Xcode or Developer tools. Xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', requesting install. If, when you run "git -version" you see a message like the following
