I have been trying for a few hours to use git within Rstudio on my macbook. However, the option to use git within version control is missing - the only option remains (none).
I have installed github, and then git directly, using the link given
in the rstudio website.
I have attempted to run the bash script
supplied with the git installation file.
I have verified that git is
active on the machine through both github and directly through the
command line.
I have located the git file in the hidden folder
/local/git/bin/git
and pointed Rstudio to this using global options.
I have reinstalled git a couple of times.
I have logged off and on again multiple times.
Any solutions very welcome.
Thanks,
Jon
The same just happened on my mac. I narrowed down the issue to the Xcode developers package update. The fix in my case was:
From a shell go to /usr/bin
sudo ./git
Agree to the terms
Close and reopen RStudio
Voilà. Git has returned to RStudio.
My RStudio git tab disappeared after upgrading to OS X El Capitan. I tried following the advice in the top answer:
but I got the error:
xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun
which led me to discover I had to reinstall XCode command-line tools. I did this via:
xcode-select --install
I also updated to latest release of RStudio. Then my git tab reappeared.
I just came across your question after I encountered a similar issue on windows. You've probably sorted yourself by now but just to let you & others know what worked for me.
From RStudio Tools, Global Options.
Option for Git Executable.
Browsed to git.exe in the git/bin folder.
Now working like a dream.

It's now working. As expected it took re-installing the operating system, as well as the following:

Using the preview version available from the link below solved the Rstudio/Git issue instantly.
Same issue with OSX High Sierra
This answer in this thread on GitHub helped me
In short, OSX seems to use another directory for the git file

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/
Just typing git at the command prompt (of powershell), takes 2.5 seconds until it returns with the help message.
I'm using the git for windows release, installed in C:\Program Files (x86)\Git. When I use cygwin (via babun), I get an error: Hint: your prompt is very slow. Check the installed 'BLODA' software. Maybe this is related? If it is, I'm using a corporate laptop, so can't uninstall antivirus or driver software, are there other options?
For me the reason seemed to be the "Inject ConEmuHk" setting in cmder under which I ran git. I've opened a bug https://github.com/bliker/cmder/issues/592
Try and see if the issue persists with the latest 2.4+ git for Windows release.
There is a bug related to the git bash startup time which is actively addressed.
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.
I tried to install the command line tools on Mavericks following the steps in this very useful post
> xcode-select --install
but after a few short seconds I get the message
This seems wrong. Does anyone know how to solve this problem?
Whenever I navigate to the page that #Nikos M. is suggesting
I get this message
I followed #Rich's suggestion and I was able to download the package and install it which I wasn't able to do before, but I've found that I still don't have access to a lot of the commands that I should like arp or diskutil just to name two that I've encountered recently.
Install them from here. You must be a registered developer.
Other solution is: in xcode click Xcode>Open Developer Tool>More Developer Tools
This should then take you to a link which will require a developer Apple ID sign in. From there, you'll be redirected after authenticating to https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ where you can manually download and install the Command Line Tools.
The tools are still free, but xcode-select --install is no longer supported.
To install the latest command-line developer tools from https://developer.apple.com,
Applications -> App Store -> Search -> XCode -> Install ... install
XCode if you don't have it.
Open XCode and close any pop-ups
Go to the Xcode menu > Open Developer Tool > More Developer Tools... this opens the correct website.
Find the newest version, download the dmg and install the package. The filename you're looking for is similar to "Command Line Tools (OS X 10.9).pkg"
I had this problem for months and finally found the solution.
The problem was: I had installed it before and removed it manually.
(I had problems with the bundled git. It was not the smartest move to do this.)
What i didn't remove were the files
/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables.bom
/var/db/receipts/com.apple.pkg.CLTools_Executables.plist
Delete them, run xcode-select --install -> no error anymore
At least it worked for me. Hope it is helpful for somebody.
I get that "Your Session has Expired" message when I try to download from within the Chrome browser. If I navigate to the site with Safari and sign in with my developer credentials then the Command Line Tools dmg downloads without a problem. I do not have a paid developer account either, btw.
You can download your Command Line Tools from daw.apple.com, but try it from Safari instead of Chrome.
I tried it with Chrome for a few hours and apple would not recognize my id/password (it is the same as your AppleID). It required me to change my password after each third try, which was challenging because it would not let you use any password you've used in the last three years.
Signing in via Safari gave me no problems.
The file you are going to look for is Command Line Tools (OS X Mavericks) for Xcode - Late October
If your terminal still says you need to install command line tools, it may be an issue with gcc-4.2. I was able to confirm that was the issue by following my terminal message after I ran "bundle install" on my rails app. If this is your issue, you will do the following follow Housen's solution here. Best of luck
I spent the day trying to solve this problem. I believe the error messages are just confused about installing Xcode. The real problem I had was a need to update gcc compiler. This happened to me because I skipped Mountain Lion, where that occurred. This blog post was very helpful.
I solved it by open XCode UI, then adding my apple account
Xcode -> Preference -> Add my APPLE ID account
Then repeat the xcode-select --install
Try to install the command line tools following
Error Message "Xcode alone is not sufficient on Sierra"
brew seems checks if the command line tools installed in this path:
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
My case is: I tried to install brew on my new mac. After I installed Xcode, there was nothing in the above path but the command line tools were somehow installed to another location. (xcode-select -p tell me it was /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer)
The way in stackoverflow can install the command line tools to
/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools
Now I got brew working. But I am not sure if it is the best solution as there should be two copies of command line tools on my machine using this method.
I just installed Mountain Lion and Xcode, so under /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin I found the Git directory
But when I use Git commands in the shell terminal it returns error of command not found. Any suggestions? I have many Git repos on my mac, so I would like to reuse them without checking them out again :/
You need to install the command line tools (see Xcode -> Preferences -> Downloads) or you can download it from the Apple Developer Download site.
First of all, installing the Xcode Command Line tools is probably not what you want. See this post for more information:
http://www.cocoanetics.com/2012/07/you-dont-need-the-xcode-command-line-tools/
You want to set up symbolic links or aliases that point to the versions of git (and svn etc.) that exist inside Xcode.app. This will cause you to automatically get newer versions when Xcode updates through the app store. Installing the command line tools will only confuse matters because you will end up with multiple versions of git lying around, and you will have to manually update the command line tools.
The commands you will need are:
sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app # tells 'xcrun' where to look
And then in your shell profile, for example .bash_profile:
alias git='xcrun git' # use 'xcrun' to locate the git binary
Now running 'git' from the terminal will use the latest version inside Xcode.app.
