I installed Homebrew on OS X El Capitan. In the last steps of the installation I was supposed to install git with

brew install git

which was fine. Now if I run ‘brew doctor’ this happens:

$ brew doctor
Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!

Warning: Git could not be found in your PATH.
Homebrew uses Git for several internal functions, and some formulae use Git
checkouts instead of stable tarballs. You may want to install Git:
  brew install git

If I run ‘brew install git’ again, I get:

$ brew install git 
Warning: git-2.7.4 already installed

So needless to say my git version is 2.7.4. ‘brew update’ throws:

$ brew update
Warning: git-2.7.4 already installed
Error: Git must be installed and in your PATH!

Question: How do I fix my PATH so git can be found in my PATH and ‘brew doctor’ results in ‘Your system is ready to brew’?

Additional Information:

• which -a git results in:

  $ which -a git
  /usr/local/bin/git
  /usr/local/bin/git
  /usr/bin/git
  

• I tried a lot of potential fixes, meanwhile I executed:

  echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile
  

  My ~/.bash_profile now looks like this:

  # Setting PATH for Python 2.7
  # The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
  PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH

brew update fails with «Git must be installed and in your PATH!» #3029

brew update fails with this error:

As of about 30 minutes ago I’m having the exact same problem.

You may need to:

To escape the error. Should only need doing once if brew update remains stuck.

@DomT4 Don’t think that’s necessary any more but folks: if it is, please let me know.

It seems to be, based on checking locally & our CI output. If you ended up there, can’t seem to brew update successfully.

For me, brew update seems to work fine again!

Thanks for the super fast fix!

I had to switch to master to get it work again, and still getting the weird message:

@hannesN What’s your brew doctor and brew config output?

I had the same issues as above, my brew doctor output looked like

I ran xcode-select —install and made sure i had /usr/local/sbin in my path and now brew’s working great again.

Btw, it was working fine yesterday, I think installing macOS High Sierra last night is what tripped it up.

What happens if you manually run git after the update to High Sierra? Does it throw out anything interesting?

The above solution ( xcode-select —install ) fixed my issue, so I deleted my previous comment.
I do remember that running git would print an error message right after the upgrade to High Sierra, but unfortunately I cannot remember the exact error. But I managed to fix it then (again I can’t remember how exactly 🙁

I had this problem this morning, and after reading the comments here I figured it could be related to me having moved Xcode.app to the trash a few days ago. I tried some of the commands suggested here, namely xcode-select —install but nothing worked. Here’s a detailed walkthrough of what I did, although I think the last step alone might fix this issue for you.

Removed all Xcode.app-related leftovers, according to the commands listed in the top answer to this question (and the top comment to that answer, as well).

I ran sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools which deleted my standalone version of the command line tools. You might not have this, so this command might return «No such file or directory». This is fine.

I (re)installed the standalone command line tools with xcode-select —install . This still didn’t fix Homebrew finding git for me, so I then read the man page for xcode-select and I did.

sudo xcode-select -r . This should make your brew doctor output «ready to brew».

You might also need to update the newly installed command line tools with the App Store; a new update should show up in the «Updates» section.

Re-installing Git on Mac OSX with Brew

This is helpful if you’ve previously installed git from source on OSX, and other compilers can’t find the correct path. You need to remove the current version of git, then re-install with brew.

Uninstall git if installed manually

Check which git you’re running:

output should be similar to this: /usr/bin/git

Remove that git install

Re-install git with brew

Check which git you’re now running:

Should now say: /usr/local/bin/git

I follow the instructions and then I am being requested to enter a password.

I do enter the password, but I get an error message:

Thanks for your help.

I have gone through the steps you listed in this instruction set, however once I run the «sudo rm -rf /usr/bin/git/» I get the error

rm: /usr/bin/git: Operation not permitted

I am currently running MacOS Mojave v.10.14.6.

and I have Xcode installed (if that means anything).

Please advise.

Hey people! I was able to get this issue resolved. However i had to install manually (not using brew initially).

I followed the steps from the Git website to reinstall Git.
https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Getting-Started-Installing-Git
It automatically updated the git version i had on my Mac. Having XCode on my device did not effect the install. I know this may seem broad, but it worked for me!! hope this helps!

Hi guys, I am having a similar issue. I checked my git version and it was 2.23.0, I did brew install git which should have updated to 2.28.0 I believe however when I restarted my mac and checked git version I still see 2.23.0. I checked which git and it shows «/usr/local/bin/git». How do I know if I am using the right git on my system?

rm: /usr/bin/git: Operation not permitted is because Mac’s «System Integrity Protection».

IMPORTANT EDIT — Any solution I wrote in this comment should be ignored unless you’ve already done the following: restarted your terminal after running brew install git (important!), ensured which git is returning /usr/local/bin/git and that this is what brew installed, confirmed /usr/local/bin/git —version is displaying the new version installed via brew, and if git —version is still returning the old Xcode version even after restarting your terminal then you can either use simple workarounds to add the path to the proper git install as others and myself mentioned (shown below this edit) or you can use people’s solutions above to remove Xcode’ git . However it’s unlikely any of this is necessary with newer versions of macOS if you’ve restarted the terminal after installing git with homebrew. For details see @martbe’s comment and my comment below it that explains where confusion can happen after installing git with homebrew alongside Xcode’s git. For newer versions of macOS, the problem that myself and possibly others experienced is due to simply not restarting the terminal after running brew install git .

See above edit before reading further.

If you do which -a git you’ll notice there are multiple versions of git installed assuming you have one installed from XCode (or straight from git) and another that you’ve just installed from homebrew.

The one in /usr/local/bin/git is the one from homebrew which you can confirm with ls -al /usr/local/bin/git and you’ll see it’s symlinked to the git binary installed in homebrew’s Cellar directory. You can alternatively confirm by passing —version to each absolute command path to see which is which.

When you run a non-absolute command like git it will search directories in the $PATH environment variable and use the first command it finds so you should run echo $PATH and ensure that /usr/local/bin comes before /usr/bin , and if it does then running git should run the correct command for you. Btw, macOS sets up the $PATH variable this way by default but if you’ve changed your $PATH just ensure that /usr/local/bin comes first.

If the above is true and $PATH is correct but git —version is still running the /usr/bin/git command then the quickest and simplest fixes are to either:

Set an alias like somebody else said by adding alias git=»/usr/local/bin/git» to

/.bash_aliases .

If that case is happening where $PATH is correctly loading from /usr/local/bin first but git is still running the /usr/bin/git command, I think this may have to do with Xcode overriding things but somebody else who’s more knowledgeable of Xcode can confirm this since I’m not sure. I’ve just seen odd things like this before, and it would explain some of these weird cases (and I know Xcode has things like xcrun to find tools). I’m just not sure. Edit — This could also be related to @martbe’s point about reloading terminal, even for older versions, not sure. I’m leaving this be now lol. I’ve done enough damage!

Just a quick note to everyone jumping on the new macOS Mojave release.

I’m a big fan of Homebrew, and after upgrading macOS I figured it would be a good idea to upgrade Homebrew as well.

 ~ $ brew update
==> Downloading https://homebrew.bintray.com/bottles/git-2.18.0.mojave.bottle.ta
...
==> Summary
🍺  /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.18.0: 1,488 files, 296.7MB
Error: Git must be installed and in your PATH!

Well, that’s strange, Homebrew was working just fine before the upgrade.

Turns out that the Mojave upgrade didn’t also upgrade my Xcode Command Line tools, which causes this error when upgrading Homebrew.

Luckily there is a really quick fix for this; just install the Xcode command line tools!

 ~ $ xcode-select --install
xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools

Let that run, and Homebrew upgrades itself without problems.

 ~ $ brew update
Updated 2 taps (homebrew/core, homebrew/cask).

I’m expecting some other upgrades to Homebrew in soonish, since it still considers Mojave (macOS 10.14) to be a pre-release version so official support isn’t quite there yet.
