Updating Git on Mac showing previous version
Was trying to pull something to github and noticed I was using a bit old Git version.
Then I went to and downloaded for mac.
After installing, I checked if I have the latest version by doing
git --version
and it showed
git version 1.7.4.4
Then I suspected the previous one is not updated and checked which git binary is being used
which git
And it replied as
/usr/bin/git
BINGO!
The new one is being save on another directory – /usr/local/git
Then I checked how my path is setup
echo $PATH
it was something like
/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin..
As you can see the poor mac would see the /usr/bin first to check if command binary is inside it and it would continue.. so it was not checking the /usr/local/git..
Just putting the proper path infront of the path would solve the problem
export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin/:/usr/local/sbin/:$PATH
That would fix the problem. In the mean time, doing some cleanup on the existing git files would help also..
You asked to pull from the remote but did not specify the branch github error
