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
