I have been using the Github for Mac app and it works great.
This morning while launching the Github app I get the following message:
GitHub for Mac no longer installs Git
OS X 10.9 and later includes Git, so GitHub for Mac will no longer
install Git as part of its command line tools.
The version of Git you have installed through GitHub for Mac is no
longer supported. It's recommended that you uninstall it as soon as
possible.

Should I uninstall Git? Will I lose my git configs ?
Yes, you can uninstall Git (the one oncluded by GitHub for Mac)
You won't loose any configuration, unless you have been fiddling with git config --system.
Only the "system" config would have been modifying the installation folder of that embedded Git.

I've been using windows for software development. I'm not aware of MacOS internals.
I'm aware that Xcode software is used to develop iOS/Mac apps but I don't need it.
For my usecase, I was able to install intellij, Java, Docker, Minikube & Visual-Studio-Code on my Intel Mac with BigSur...
I'm able to run simple micro-service with working DB in local in docker container.
But when I try to use Git I'm getting this issue:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
I think this is related to Xcode. I didn't want to touch it,
so I tried to install Git by brew.
brew install git but got error
Error: git 2.29.2 is already installed
So I tried to do update
brew upgrade git but again got the below error again.
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
I also tried to remove Git to do a clean install
brew remove git and there was no error, but then I installed git with brew again and the same error.
Is there a way to install Git without having Xcode ?
I dont want to install unnecessary software on my machine, things which I don't need.
Note that this is a plain copy of a previous answer of mine on superuser.com.
Here's a way to install git on Mac OS X without XCode.
Git's official web site provides an installer : http://git-scm.com/download/mac
After installing git, you also have to add its directory to your path :
echo "PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
Adding the directory to the path will prevent Mac OS X from aksing you to install XCode each time you type git in the terminal.
Credits goes to Bobby Allen and to GoZoner's answer on SO.
What you need is not xcode but xcode command line tool which has a small download and running file space compared to xcode of 11GB download space and running space of 31GB
You can download it from apple at https://developer.apple.com/downloads/
I'm starting on a new team who are all on PCs using TortoiseSVN with SVN version 1.9.2. I'm on a Mac OSX (El Capitan) using the Versionsapp. When I check svn --version in terminal i get 1.7.10.
When I try any svn command such as svn update I get
svn: E155021: This client is too old to work with the working copy at
'/Users/dpowell/Desktop/sites/site.org.new' (format 31).
You need to get a newer Subversion client. For more details, see
http://subversion.apache.org/faq.html#working-copy-format-change
I've gone to the site and downloaded the python script but don't know it will do anything to help (i.e. I don't know how to use it). I've also downloaded the 1.9 package and tried installing svn that way.
I'm not sure what path to take to solve this issue
The Python script you downloaded from there was to downgrade your SVN version - you need to upgrade your SVN version. I recommend going the homebrew route - it will save you lots of pain in upgrading / installing OSX packages in the future.
Follow the instructions here: http://brew.sh/
(copy that line into a terminal an press ENTER, then follow the prompts)
Then, when homebrew is installed, so update SVN, just do brew install svn.
In Terminal, type "svn --version" to find out what version you currently have
Go to http://www.wandisco.com/subversion/download#osx and download the latest client for OS X and install it. This will install the new svn into /opt/subversion/bin
Got to your terminal and check your $PATH by typing "echo $PATH". If you don't see /opt/subversion/bin in there, make sure you add it by typing export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH. If it DOES exist and appears AFTER /usr/bin, then you may need to remove an older copy of svn that came installed on OS X. To do so, go to /usr/bin and remove all files starting with svn. This isn't an exact science but it should do the trick.
For me export PATH=/opt/subversion/bin:$PATH worked as it was installed in /opt/subversion/bin
Make sure you reload your .profile first by typing
. ./.profile*
Type "svn --version". You should see that you have the newest version installed!
brew upgrade subversion
Others solutions require you to register an Account?? forget them.
Using an iMac running OSX 10.8.5 (Mountain Lion). It's a work computer and can't upgrade to a higher OS version at the moment for various reasons.
I tried installing XCode so that I can use Git but it isn't working.
In terminal I run:
git --version
and get this response:
-bash: git: command not found
What am I doing wrong?
You need to install git separately:
http://burnedpixel.com/blog/setting-up-git-and-github-on-your-mac/
Source control was only introduced into Xcode 4. This however does not mean git is installed onto your system as part of downloading Xcode. It just means that you can use some git features in a Xcode project by pressing the source control button at the top. To install the actual git go here.
I'm don't know why it appears to be so, but it looks like Git still isn't installed on your computer. Another way to check if Git is installed is by using the which git command. If that still doesn't help, install it separately. Download Git for Mac.
Recently GitHub recommended us to update the git client on our machines.

So I type in console
git --version //getting 2.0.1
which git //getting /usr/local/git/bin/git
Then I upload one from here(2.2.1, for instance):
The Git core team site
I unzip it and then I cant figure it out where to put unzipped files because files under /usr/local/git are so different,
what do I need to do to install it?
Update: for everyone curious about my question, this particular link have the answers
Since you appear to be using Linux (or maybe Max OSX) you'll need to use one of the package managers. The Download page for Git on Linux has more information.
For Mac OS you'll need to use Homebrew or MacPorts.
Otherwise you'll have to download the source code, make and make install the newest version of Git if the Linux and Mac package managers don't have the newest release listed.
Installing Git
I have installed the current latest version of git for the mac. Previously I had git 1.8.5.2 version. I have installed GitHub gui as well https://mac.github.com/. I have setted correctly the PATH infact now when I write on the terminal git --version I get back the latest version 2.0.1. I have executed the .sh that come together the installation package named setup git PATH for non-terminal programs.sh. Now my question is: the github gui for mac os x which version of github uses? does it exist a wat to set up it?
Maybe I have found the solution. Inside github app there is a folder named resource and inside it there is a folder named git where there it the bin of git
