This is helpful if you've previously installed git from source on OSX, and other compilers can't find the correct path. You need to remove the current version of git, then re-install with brew.
-
Check which git you're running:
which git
output should be similar to this: /usr/bin/git
-
Remove that git install
sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/git/ sudo rm /etc/paths.d/git sudo rm /etc/manpaths.d/git sudo pkgutil --forget --pkgs=GitOSX\.Installer\.git[A-Za-z0-9]*\.[a-z]*.pkg
brew uninstall git
brew update
brew install git
Check which git you're now running:
which git
Should now say: /usr/local/bin/git
Hi guys, I am having a similar issue. I checked my git version and it was 2.23.0, I did brew install git which should have updated to 2.28.0 I believe however when I restarted my mac and checked git version I still see 2.23.0. I checked which git and it shows "/usr/local/bin/git". How do I know if I am using the right git on my system?
