I don't have the answer to your specific question, but if your goal is to run git on OS X, then one way to accomplish that is to use a package management system. Questions such as yours have already been pondered and resolved by the people who maintain the packages in those package management systems, so that all you as a user have to do is install the package management system, then tell it what package you want to install. I work on the MacPorts package management system ( https://www.macports.org/ ), so that's the one I can recommend to you. I just verified that its git package does work fine on Leopard for checking out from https repositories: $ sw_vers ProductName: Mac OS X ProductVersion: 10.5.8 BuildVersion: 9L30 $ which git /opt/local/bin/git $ git --version git version 2.5.0 $ git clone https://github.com/weidai11/cryptopp.git cryptopp-git Cloning into 'cryptopp-git'... remote: Counting objects: 5006, done. remote: Total 5006 (delta 0), reused 0 (delta 0), pack-reused 5006 Receiving objects: 100% (5006/5006), 2.19 MiB | 835.00 KiB/s, done.
