Hi Fred, seems like our comments have crossed each other. Still in the
high name of knowledge sharing here's the answer:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11/bin:/opt/local/bin
$ which git
/usr/local/bin/git
Thanks for the tip with /etc/paths.d. I was initially also taken aback
by the ~/.bash_login file, because on my machine there's a file at root
level named #.bash_profile# . When I cat this file, nothing comes out of
it. Yet when I open it in a text program the contents are the same as in
the (hidden!) ~/.bash_login file! What most strange is when I do a ls -a
BOTH these files are displayed:
#.bash_login#
.
..
.CFUserTextEncoding
.DS_Store
.Trash
.Xauthority
.Xcode
.bash_history
.bash_login
.bash_profile
.csh_history
.
.
.
etc
Must be Leopard's way of telling you that this file is important
somehow. Strange, as it looks like information duplication.
