Looks like most of the advice comes down to "install a different Git".

You could track down an older installer for Macs, install GitHub for Mac (
https://mac.github.com/), or install the command line tools, either via
XCode or by downloading just the command line tools from Apple's developer
site (for which you have to register for a free Apple developer account).
If, for some reason, folks are already using Homebrew it can also install
Git.

If you try GitHub for Mac I don't know to where that installs Git.
