Git on Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion)

Question

I just upgraded my Mac to Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion), and now Git is gone:

$ git
-bash: git: command not found

How can I get Git back?

Answer 1

The default install location is /usr/local , so add this to your ~/.bash_profile file:

export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin/

Then run source ~/.bash_profile in Terminal.

Answer 2

如果您不想安装 Xcode 和/或MacPorts / Fink / Homebrew ，您可以随时使用独立安装程序： https : //sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/

Answer 3

You have to find where the Git executable is and then add the folder to the PATH environment variable in file .bash_profile .

Using terminal:

1. Search for Git:

    sudo find / -name git

2. Edit the .bash_profile file. Add:

    PATH="<Directory of Git>:$PATH"

Git is back :-)

Anyway, I suggest you to install Git using MacPorts . In this way you can easily upgrade your Git instance to the newest release.

Answer 4

There are a couple of points to this answer.

Firstly, you don't need to install Xcode. The Git installer works perfectly well. However, if you want to use Git from within Xcode - it expects to find an installation under /usr/local/bin. If you have your own Git installed elsewhere - I've got a script that fixes this.

Second is to do with the path. My Git path used to be kept under /etc/paths.d/ However, a Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion) install overwrites the contents of this folder and the /etc/paths file as well. That's what happened to me and I got the same error. Recreating the path file fixed the problem.

Answer 5

It's part of Xcode . You'll need to reinstall the developer tools.

Answer 6

您可以随时使用MacPorts ...
