PLEASE HELP: Git for Yosemite 10.10.2

Siamak Nooraei· Mar 9, 2015, 21:26 UTC · lore

Hi there,

I am taking an online data science course for which I am required to download Git. When I go to the Git's site, I can only download Git 2.2.1 Maverick. Also, when I check in my CLI, it says "git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)."

I need to download a version of Git that is compatible with Apple Yosemite 10.10.2. Please help. Thank you very much.

Siamak.

The Mac, or OS X, ships with a pre-installed version of Git. I believe it is located in /usr/bin/git. Now if you study your $PATH variable, you'll notice that /usr/bin comes before the path where you installed the more recent Git 2.2.1. I may not be doing too good of a job explaining how this works here, so please read [1] instead, or google for more updated answers (I don't have a Mac in front of me).

You should be able to use the version of Git that came installed for most purposes. Newer is better, of course, but Git 1.9.3 is fairly recent.
