Let's now go ahead and initialize our repository. If you run the ls command, you'll see that we have a number of folders & directories in our project which we want to add to our Git repository. The first thing we need to run in our terminal is run a command to move our current working directory to our project. We'll call this project potato and it will be saved in your home directory in a folder named Development. We're going to assume that you have an existing project which you wish to import into a Git repository. $ git config -global user.name "Your Name Here" $ git config -global user.email Initializing your first repository
This information is used whenever you make a commit so that everyone knows who made the changes. The first thing you should do before using Git for the first time is to set your name & e-mail address in the Git configuration.
You can find this by opening up your Applications folder, then your Utilities folder and finally the Terminal application. Accessing the terminalįirstly, you'll need to open up the Terminal application. In this guide, we're going to use the command line. The command line option is often quicker and means that you can gain a better understanding of how things work and what exactly you are doing. You can either use Git on the command line using a terminal or you can install a graphical interface. Fortunately, modern Macs all come with Git installed as standard so there's no need to worry about installing it. The mystery of how Xcode and its developer tools getting ruined with every install is really something Apple should address.In this guide, we're going to explore how to use Git on the Mac OS X operating system. The command above restored git and I was able to instantly get back to work. I tried using Homebrew to install git by itself ( brew install git) but that didn't ensure git worked properly so I went with a fix that's worked in the past: xcode-select -install Xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrunĮvery OS upgrade is interesting in its own ways but you can bet your life that something relating to Xcode will go wrong. This was very much the case with git when I upgraded my MacBook Pro to High Sierra.Īfter the upgrade I tried to pull down a git branch and received the following cryptic error: No matter the vendor or how vanilla you keep your system: stuff is going to break. Every major operating system upgrade is a grand adventure.
