Source: README.I know this might be repetitive, but I am having a problem updating git on my computer. A check has been added to assert that the 32-bit package actually contain 32-bit executables. The build process has been greatly improved the cumbersome script has been replaced with a more declarative Makefile. I've updated the project home page with a link to the GitHub issue tracker, and have done various cleanup to reduce clutter remaining since the transition from Google Code.

This was my fault as I did not set up adequate instructions for how to ask for help. Further compounding the issue was lack of feedback channels, and the negative reviews were not emailed to me. As a result, the builds were not working on 10.8.x and earlier. There was an issue with the build script in which the compilation Framework was not being properly specified, and this effectively caused it to be ignored. Support for older operating systems restored / apologyĦ4-bit builds for Snow Leopard (and later) have been published. CVE-2014-9390 security fixĪs announced on the git mailing list, git for OS X CVE-2014-9390 Fix, and improved build process. These were created on a 64-bit installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard. ģ2-bit builds for Snow Leopard (and later) are back. Universal builds have returned, reducing one more decision the user has to make when determining the appropriate download version. Going forward, Snow Leopard and Mavericks builds will be published.Īlso, the Makefile has been fixed to enable 32-bit builds of the OS X keychain credential helper.

Mavericks builds have been published to address issues running git gui. Instead, it uses pkgbuild, which is much simpler, and is the supported way of doing packages. The installer no longer uses PackageMaker. The installer installs the uninstall.sh script, which has also been updated to remove the new symlinks created. El Capitan no longer allows modifications to /usr/bin, and /usr/local/bin is preferred over /usr/bin, by default. File an issue here: Changes / Recent updates īuilds have been updated to create symlinks in /usr/local/bin to run git. The Snow Leopard builds will work on Mavericks and later, but there are issues running git gui. Note, you will need to restart your shell after so-doing, as most shells (bash) cache command location resolution from PATH. Sudo ln -sf /usr/local/git/bin/git /usr/bin/git

To overcome, do the following: sudo mv /usr/bin/git /usr/bin/git-system (Yosemite and later) ship with stubs in /usr/bin, which take Xcode installs its git to /usr/bin/git recent versions of OS X

FAQ I have XCode installed (and consequently its bundled git) how do I get my system to use this version instead?
