The git installer for Mac that you used should have installed git into /usr/local/git
. Check if /usr/local/git/bin
is included in PATH.
Running echo $PATH
from the terminal and make sure that you see /usr/local/git/bin
.
(Note: Mac OS has already preinstalled git which is installed to /usr/bin, so you may not need install again if you don't want to use the latest version)
If not, you need to add it to your PATH
- Mount the git-osx-installer disk image by double-clicking
xxx.dmg
- Open Terminal
- Type
cd /Volumes/xxx/
- Type
./setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh
and hit Enter to run the shell script. - Open a new Terminal and type
echo $PATH
- Confirm that you see
/usr/local/git/bin
in your PATH.
If you want to uninstall git, you can follow the steps below:
xxx.dmg
cd /Volumes/xxx/
./setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh
echo $PATH
/usr/local/git/bin
- Open Terminal
- Type
cd /Volumes/xxx/
- Type
./uninstall.sh
and hit Enter to run the shell script.
