I've recently started using Xcode again and was attempting to use git via the command line since I'm more at home there. After some Googling I found out that it was tied into Xcode .app folder. I looked for a way to make it easy to get at the already built in git. I hated the idea of installing another version and bloating my system with multiple versions when there is a perfectly suitable version already installed. Here is the easiest way I found to work around this:
Open the terminal Type in sudo vi .profile Edit the file to include the following line: alias git="xcrun git" Restart the terminal and you will now have access to just run git everytime.
