Before starting, I should note that this is almost directly taken from the Official Git Documentation. The difference is that I am using GIFs to show the two main ways to install Git on Mac.
Option 1
The easiest way to install Git is to install the Xcode Command Line Tools which comes with Git among other things. On Mavericks (10.9) or above you can do this simply by trying to run the git command from the Terminal.
- Open a Terminal on your Mac. Now, type the following command into your Terminal.
git --version
If you don’t have git installed already, it will prompt you to install it.
Read and agree to the Command Line Tools License Agreement and you are ready to use Git!
Option 2
- Download Git here.
2. Once your download is finished, open the file and go through the installation process.
3. Done!
Learning Git
If you want to learn how to use Git, I suggest you check out either Corey Schafer’s YouTube videos on Git or DataCamp’s free course Introduction to Git for Data Science. Please let me know if you have any questions!
Install Git on Mac was originally published in Hacker Noon on Medium, where people are continuing the conversation by highlighting and responding to this story.
