git command was killed

Hello, 

I’d like to get your support to solve below issue. When I upgraded my MacBook Pro (appple silicon ) , all git commands can not be run, and it shows ******killed. I have tried to reset Xcode-select, switch the path, or install again..no luck to resolve it.

Please advise how I can solve this issue.

This problem may be specific to Homebrew's installation of Git. Apparently, Homebrew wasn't originally able to build for Apple "Silicon" and the various supported "formulas" need to be upgraded manually for "Silicon". This page [1] shows a (perhaps) outdated status of each package.

Somewhere in [1] there is mention that you may be able to install a package as x86_64 rather than as arm64 and then run it via Rosetta, so you might want to try that (assuming Rosetta works for you). Or maybe you already installed x86_64 and Rosetta is failing for you(?), in which case try the arm64 version. Otherwise, probably best would be to ask at the Homebrew project.

Thanks Eric for the response. After I had git dependencies gettext and pcre2 reinstalled, git was reborn on my Macbook. Seems this was a common issue with 11.2 upgraded.
