How do I upgrade git on Mac?

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.

What is the latest git version for Mac?

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.
