Locate Git installation folder on Mac OS X

I'm just curious, Where Git get installed (via DMG) on Mac OS X 开发者_JAVA百科file system?

---

Is it in your PATH? If so just run which git in the terminal and it will tell you.

---

The installer from the git homepage installs into /usr/local/git by default. See also this answer. However, if you install XCode4, it will install a git version in /usr/bin. To ensure you can easily upgrade from the website and use the latest git version, edit either your profile information to place /usr/local/git/bin before /usr/bin in the $PATH or edit /etc/paths and insert /usr/local/git/bin as the first entry (see this answer).

---

simply type in which git in your terminal window and it will show you exactly where it was installed.

---

you can simply use this command on a terminal to find out git on unix platforms (mac/linux) -

whereis git or which git

This command should return something like - /usr/bin/git or any other location where git is installed

---

On most of UNIX based sys, its at /usr/bin/git (if installed with default options)
all git related scripts are at /usr/libexec/git-core

---

Usually some of the applications have been known to take it from the Xcode.app path also: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/

Coda 2, prefers this path than the soft link at /usr/bin.

---

You can also try with /usr/local/bin/git it worked for me

---

Mostly in /usr/local/git (there are also /etc/paths.d/git and /etc/manpaths.d/git items).

---

On Linux the command is whereis. Alternatively you can issue find / -name git and wait for an eternity. Alternatively try echo $PATH | sed "s/:/ /g" | xargs -L 1 ls | grep git

---

If you have fresh installation / update of Xcode, it is possible that your git binary can't be executed (I had mine under /usr/bin/git). To fix this problem just run the Xcode and "Accept" license conditions and try again, it should work.

On Mojave

The binary is in

/usr/bin/git

The related scripts are here

/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/git-core/git
