I recently installed Xcode 7.1.1 on my Mac. While this was underway, I continued to work on an unrelated project, until I found I could not use git from the command-line. Instead, I got this message:
Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
Is Apple in violation of git’s license by imposing this restriction?
