Git and Terminal Commands not Working in Mavericks - macos

I have two problems:
Git is not working although it is installed. Mavericks pops up a window and suggests to install Xcode (I don't want to): "The 'git' command requires the command line developer tools. Would you like to install it now?"
Sometimes even basic commands such as "ls" don't work. "-bash: ls: command not found". However, after inserting the command " . /etc/profile" it works for a while.
My ~/.bash_profile:
export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/mongodb/bin
### Added by the Heroku Toolbelt
export PATH="/usr/local/heroku/bin:$PATH"
I'm very new to this. Please be aware while helping out.;) Your help is highly appreciated.

You are overwriting your PATH in this line:
export PATH=/usr/local/mongodb/bin
it should be:
export PATH=/usr/local/mongodb/bin:$PATH
Then if you are using OSX I strongly suggest that you use Homebrew http://brew.sh/ which is a package manager (like linux) for mac.
If you are developing on Mac, the command line tools are (almost) required for C/C++/ObjC dev. You can download them without XCode but it is not recommended. Homebrew will need them to build the software for your platform.
To download them go to https://developer.apple.com/downloads/index.action
Note, you'll need a developer account (it is free)
Once you have installed homebrew it is easy to have access to the latest software e.g:
brew install git
brew install mongodb
etc.
You don't have to manage and download the packages by hand. Very handy !

export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/mongodb/bin
That second export overwrites PATH completely and sets it to the mongodb directory only. You need to append (or prepend) to PATH, not overwrite it.
export PATH="/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH"
export PATH="/usr/local/mongodb/bin:$PATH"

Local development on Mac M1 | Laravel & VueJs

I've just switched to MacOs - never used it before and I'm using Macbook M1 Pro, so a newbie here. Also, I've only started with web dev so I'm fairly new in this field as well.
Now, how should I proceed in order to set-up a local development enviroment - I plan to use mainly Laravel & VueJs?
Things I've done so far:
Installed VS code
Installe MAMP
Cloned my Git repository with project I was working on (Windows 10)
This is the part where I need help - I think I'm supposed to install Homebrew, but even if I follow the instructions on their website I can't get it working properly. It's installed but as soon as I close & reopen the terminal, it throws zsh: command not found: brew. The commands I'm used to - php artisan xyz or npm run watch don't work
Do you guys have some guide or step-by-step tutorial of what should I do in order to get my Laravel&Vue git project up & running on a localhost?
brew is installed in /usr/local/Homebrew/bin/brew (symlinked to /usr/local/bin/brew). Make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH, so that brew and newly installed Homebrew packages are available on the command line. This is typically setup by the ~/.zshrc file.
Troubleshooting steps:
Edit $HOME/.zshrc.
If export PATH is not found, add the following line. The important part is to ensure /usr/local/bin is present (and that :$PATH is last) to give it higher precedence. If the export PATH line exists, but commented, uncomment it.
export PATH=$HOME/bin:/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Restart your shell. .zshrc is loaded automatically at shell startup.
Check for brew with the which command:
$ which brew
/usr/local/bin/brew
Update
This suggestion here fixed my issues: https://stackoverflow.com/a/66521797/9682588
So, what I did was:
echo "export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile && source ~/.bash_profile

Mac OSX Terminal not Recognizing installed CLI Tool

I'm trying to literally download and run the ElectronNet demo (found here). I install the CLI tool, which appears to be accomplished successfully, but when I try to use the tool, terminal does not recognize it. Shown below:
% dotnet tool install electronnet.cli -g
Tool 'electronnet.cli' is already installed.
%electronize start
zsh: command not found: electronize
What could be going on here?
I guess it's something with your path&zsh,
if you try:
~/.dotnet/tools/electronize start
is that work for you?
If so, you can fix your path by editing ~/.zshrc, add this:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/share/dotnet/bin"
and source the file by running: ". ~/.zshrc"

installing .net core on mac

I am installing .net core on a mac and hoping to play around with it a bit on vs code. I am following the steps from
https://www.microsoft.com/net/core#macosx.
However, when I run
dotnet new
I get command not found on bash.
I have followed these previous steps
brew update
brew install openssl
brew link --force openssl
I have also downloaded the core package (installed successfully). I do not see any other steps. Wondering if I am missing a step or how to identify what is missing?
Sometimes I am not sure why the installer doesn't add the PATH to your environment.
Run below in terminal and reopen the terminal:
echo 'export PATH="$PATH:/usr/local/share/dotnet"' >> ~/.bashrc
(Note: If you are using zsh or other shells, please change the above ~/.bashrc to the initialize script of your shell, e.g. ~/.zshrc)
I ran into this same problem earlier today. The fix for me was to close out all Terminal windows, open a new one, then re-run the command.

How to put psql on the path when using Postgres.app on OS X?

I've installed Postgres93 on my Mac. I can open the application, and "Open psql" through the app which opens up a command line interface with psql.
However, when I type $ which psql nothing is returned. The installation path is /Applications/Postgres93.app. How do I make $ which psql show the correct result?
Mac OS X - Mavericks
PostgreSQL package, I'm not as sure about. I went here and downloaded it - http://postgresapp.com/
I just had postgres installed and was not able to run the psql command until I ran the following command in my terminal:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.5/bin:$PATH"
Now the terminal knows where to find postgres when I use the psql command.
Remember to replace the version number '9.5' with your current version.
I had the same problem with nothing showing for the which psql command till I run the command below to resolve it. The command provided below is just a little tweak of what has already been provided by others here. The only difference is, instead of providing a specific postgres version number in the command, you can simply tell postgres to use the latest postgres version by simply running the following command:
export
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:$PATH"
And now my terminal was able to find the path to postgres when I run which psql.
Hope this helps.
On macOS Mojave these instructions work well:
If your Postgres has not been installed yet, I suggest you use the great "brew" package manager from here https://brew.sh/ :
$ brew cask install postgres
or you can install it usual way from the website
Put this to the bottom of your ~/.bash_profile file:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/latest/bin:${PATH}"
Restart your terminal or restart your ~/.bash_profile directly with the command:
$ . ~/.bash_profile
Verify your installation:
$ psql --version
** Edited: to include a permanent fix, not just during your current session. **
I had this same problem, and also found a clear answer lacking in the docs.
To fix:
Download the new app, and follow the instructions to move it to the Applications folder
Add the new bundle to your path by typing the following in your Terminal (version number specific - mine is 9.4):
PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
To fix the issue on a permanent basis, run the same line but with export in front:
export PATH="/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin:$PATH"
It appears that you installed Heroku's Postgres.app, which is a tool intended for throw-away testing and development. Add the contents of the bundle to your PATH by following the instructions in the Postgres.app documentation - see "command line tools".
On macos mojave i've added the following line on my ~/.profile :
export PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/10/bin
the psql command line client lies into this folder. i've used the enterprisedb installer.
I just experienced the same problem, and solved it by adding export PATH=$PATH:/Applications/Postgres.app/Contents/Versions/9.4/bin to .bash_profile. Note that this line is version-specific, so be sure to check this line against your current version of Postgres.app.
Using Mac OS Monterey, the latest Homebrew (3.4.0) and postgres#13.
I was able to add psql to the path by using -
export PATH="/opt/homebrew/Cellar/postgresql#13/13.6/bin:$PATH"
Replace #13 and 13.6 with your version.
The latest homebrew install location seems to be /opt/homebrew/*
I'm using catalina 10.15.3 and I had the same issue after installing psql using homebrew. Then I noticed, homebrew mentioned
==> libpq
libpq is keg-only, which means it was not symlinked into /usr/local,
because conflicts with postgres formula.
If you need to have libpq first in your PATH run:
echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
So, I ran 'export PATH="/usr/local/opt/libpq/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile and psql was added to my path
In Mac, there is a SQL Shell application already under /Applications/PostgresSQL
try that
Also, you can run /Library/PostgreSQL/11/scripts/runpsql.sh
In my case, I installed Postgres12 and had the same issue. I had to look out for the location of my bin folder. It happened to be in /Applications/2ndQuadrant/PostgreSQL/12/bin. So I had to run export PATH="/Applications/2ndQuadrant/PostgreSQL/12/bin:$PATH" in my terminal and restart the terminal. That solved it.

Install Git separately from Xcode

Firstly apologies if this is a really simple question but Git is absolutely brand new to me. Basically I've been dabbling with a bit of iOS development for a little while and now have a project idea that I want to start working on and for the first time I'm planning on putting this into source control.
Now I know Xcode 4 has some Git integration but I've spotted a couple of posts that suggest the integration isn't that great and it's better to do it the command line way.
So, I've been following instructions here http://git-scm.com/book/en/Getting-Started-Installing-Git and I've downloaded version 1.7.10.3 for Mac and ran the install.
However when I run git --version I get version 1.7.4.4 which is the version that was installed with Xcode I assume?
My question is, how do I make use of my new version 1.7.10.3? The plan is to learn to use Git via command tools and set up a central repository on a server I have at home, then have local copies on my laptop.
As I say I'm really new to this, so a quick step by step idiots guide would be helpful. I have searched and tried to find details here and on google but other than the suggestion to use Git outside of Xcode I've not found out exactly how to do it.
Any advice, or links to a decent tutorial that covers this would be very much appreciated.
Update:
I've changed the path to the new path in .bash_profile (/usr/local/git/bin) and now get git version 1.7.7.5 (Apple Git-26). This still appears to be the wrong version (although this could be me being dense). I downloaded the installer for OSX from the above link. Should I be doing something else. I want to play around with the command line tools so I can get a proper understanding
Update 2:
I'm now also trying MacPorts as recommended in the article. This seems to be downloading a lot more than just Git though
Xcode installs git in /Applications/Xcode.app/... but if you run 'Install Command Tools' then git gets installed also in /usr/bin/git. Xcode uses its private version in Xcode.app. If you installed git in /usr/local/git/bin then you need to include that directory in your PATH. You should have a .bashrc file (or equivalent for whatever shell you are using). Add
PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH # your shell might use different syntax.
to that file 'rc' file.
Also, note that Xcode would allow you to accomplish your goal of setting up a remote at home while maintaining a local copy on your laptop. Go to the Xcode 'organizer' and click 'repositories'. There you will find all your machine's Git repositories. Choose one, select the 'remotes' folder and then '+' to add your home remote. I use Xcode this way.
Credits goes to #GoZoner for the answer. I'm just summing up everything.
Download official git installer from : http://git-scm.com/download/mac
Install and add its directory to your path :
echo "PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:\$PATH" >> ~/.bash_profile
source ~/.bash_profile
The best way is:
step 1:
Install homebrew on your mac this is the official website Homebrew homepage
From a Terminal prompt:
/usr/bin/ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/install)"
step 2:
From a terminal prompt
brew install git
