Despite its limitations, I like to use the Source Control in Xcode instead of
the git command line for common everyday tasks. I have an iMac and a MacBook
Air which both have Xcode 7.1 and OS X 10.11. On the iMac, Xcode’s Source
Control works great but on the Air I’ve had a lot of trouble the past few
months, particularly repositories not showing in the menu, and “Scanning for
working copies…” forever.
On the iMac, git version reports
git version 2.4.9 (Apple Git-60)
On the Air,
git version 1.8.2.3
I suspect this is the trouble. Bloggers explain how to replace the Apple Git,
implying that it is bad, but don’t explain this assumption.
• Which do I want, for best working with Xcode, the the special “Apple” version
of git, or the latest git 2.6.2 from sourceforge.net?
• If the answer is the former, how do I get it? Can I just copy it from
/usr/bin on my iMac?
• Apparently, updating Xcode is updating git on the iMac but not on the Air.
Why might this be? I just tried manually reinstalling the command-line tools
with (xcode-select —install) on the Air, but it still left me with git 1.8.2.3.
Thanks,
Jerry Krinock
