[git-users] Ran upgrade package, yet still says old version in terminal (MAC)

[Robert Marshall]

Hi all,

Running OSX Yosemite 10.10.5 on a Mac Mini. I checked and the currently 
installed version of Git comes up at 2.3.2 in the terminal prompt. I 
downloaded the latest build package, which is 2.5.0, released earlier this 
month.

At this point I opened the dmg file and ran the 
git-2.5.0-intel-universal-mavericks.pkg file, and followed the instructions 
to install the package. After receiving "The Software Package was 
Successfully Installed Message" I checked the version again. However, it is 
still showing 2.3.2 as being installed.

I even logged out, and back in. But, it's still showing the older version.

Is the installer not working properly, or am I missing a step somewhere 
along the lines?

Thanks!

Robert

It could be a simple issue with $PATH. Check where your shell says Git is
and see if that matches with the location you'd expect.
