Is Xcode 4 git installed?

I bought a new MacBook Pro and installed the list of applications below in order. On my old MacBook, also running OS X 10.6.6, I did not have /usr/bin/git , however, on the new MacBook Pro, I do this. The only differences I can imagine between the two systems are:

  • New MacBook Pro has Xcode 4 and Xcode 3 on an old MacBook
  • New MacBook Pro installed git with homebrew versus installed MacBook [git -osx-installer] []

homebrew installed git 1.7.4.1 in /usr/local/Cellar/git and is symbolically attached to /usr/local/bin . This makes me think that Xcode 4 installed git 1.7.3.4 in /usr/bin . Can anyone confirm or deny this?

If Xcode 4 did not install git 1.7.3.4 in /usr/bin , any thoughts on what the program did?

Applications installed in order

  • First boot
  • Apple Ran Software Update
  • Ran Bootcamp to create a 48GB NTFS partition for Windows 7
  • Installed iWork '09 and launched a software update to install iWork Update 5
  • Installed TextExpander 3.2.4
  • Installed Dropbox 1.0.20
  • Installed 1Password 3.5.9
  • Installed Alfred 0.8.2 (107)
  • Installed Adium 1.4.1
  • Started installing Xcode4 through the App Store
  • Installed Caffeine 1.1.1 through the App Store
  • Installed Kindle via the App Store
  • Xcode 4 Installation Complete on the App Store
  • Installed by Homebrew using the following command: ruby -e "$(curl -fsSLk https://gist.github.com/raw/323731/install _homebrew.rb)"
  • Installed git with brew install git
  • Installed MacVim with brew install macvim

Update: package receipt information

I ran pkgutil --file-info /usr/bin/git and the following information was displayed. This seems to contradict Xcode 4.

 volume: / path: /usr/bin/git pkgid: com.apple.pkg.GitLeo pkg-version: 4.0.0.9000000000.1.1248867338 install-time: 1300459157 uid: 0 gid: 0 mode: 755

Why is this a problem when Xcode 4 installs git

By default, the path /usr/local/bin is after /usr/bin (see the file /etc/paths ). This means that instead of 1.7.4.1, git 1.7.3.4, which is installed by Homebrew, is used.

Yes Yes. I just finished installing Xcode 4. git was previously installed in / usr / local / git.

I am new to OS X and can only offer to swap the order of these directories in / etc / paths.

Not sure what else can / may work.

In the "Settings", "Downloads" section, the "Command Line Tools" option has appeared. I installed this and it worked well.

I just looked through this and found git in /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin after installing Xcode from the App Store on 10.7.4. Adding this directory to my PATH seems like a trick.

I had to install command line tools. Here's a helpful answer https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/issues/10244#issuecomment-4013781

Xcode 4 installs git in / Developer / usr / bin and in / usr / bin. Xcode 4 uses the version in / Developer / usr / bin. I believe that Xcode 4 also calls git with the full path, so changing the path variable will not change the version of git used by Xcode 4 itself. Of course, if you just use git outside of Xcode, all of this doesn't matter.

I deal with the same problem. Since I added the new default push style to my git command, several programs failed because they still used some internal old version of git.

I think here I found a good workaround:
