There's often confusion when installing Git OS X, because Apple ships an older version of Git with OS X (or is it with XCode? Can't remember). In any case, you want to find out which Git is being used, and if it's the intended installation. To orient yourself, you have some commands: which git # what is the first git executable in your path git --version #what version is this pointing at, you'll want this to be 1.9.2 I suppose echo $PATH # what does the whole path look like Most people on OS X who want a fresh version of Git either install the one they download from git-scm.com - or they install it/build it using homebrew <http://brew.sh/>. I believe the git-scm.com installer will end up putting Git in /usr/local/git/bin/git, whereas default homebrew will put it in /usr/local/bin/git (I haven't got my mac here, so I can't guarantee this). I think the following happened: You downloaded and ran the git-scm.com installer, and something in your environment (OS X version, whatever is installed) ended up confusing the installer, and it got some things set up wrong. While this installer obviously gets a lot of exposure, I'm not sure if it's being so well-maintained (seeing how they are lagging a few minor versions behind the other installers) for the various upgrades Apple puts out there which accidentally breaks stuff. I'm sure people would be grateful if you would open a ticket in their project: http://sourceforge.net/p/git-osx-installer/tickets/ I suspect most developers out there, myself included, just stick to using homebrew these days, as building for your own machine is usually the safest thing to do. But using homebrew and building Git still requires you to install the XCode command line tools. Hope this gives you some bearings. Note that I haven't researched this too heavily, it's just my feel of what things are like now. Sorry there's not an easier way.
