mwatts272 / install-bash
Created November 2, 2013 00:23
Upgrading the rather risqué bash on Mac OS X. Please Note: Homebrew installs things to /usr/local/Cellar/, then symlinks any binaries to /usr/local/bin, so you've now got the latest bash sitting at /usr/local/bin/bash, just so you know.
# Install Homebrew.
ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"
# Update Homebrew's formulae.
brew update
# Install GIT using homebrew
brew install git
# Install bash
