The easiest way to update Git on Mac is to use the official installer. Download the installation file from the Git website. Run the installation and follow the install wizard to update Git to the latest version. Note: Using the install wizard to update Git overwrites the current installation.
The latest version is 2.33. 0, which was released 12 months ago, on 2021-08-30.
I'm very close here, I think I just need to create a symbolic link, but I'm not sure how (and why this is need).
I downloaded and installed git using this command:
brew install git
The response is:
git-1.7.12 already installed, it's just not linked
How do I do this?
When I run:
which git
>/usr/bin/git
When I run:
git --version
>git version 1.7.4.4
My paths are fine:
export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
Again, all I really need to know is how to set up the symlink.
