change xcrun developer path for Android Studio/IntelliJ
GitAndroid StudioIntellij IdeaOsx ElcapitanXcrunGit Problem Overview
I'm using GIT and am trying to push my code and getting the following error when using the Terminal. I don't use XCode, I'm using Android Studio.
The command I tried using was:
> git branch Networking
Error:
> xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun`
I am running on El Capitan Beta 4 update if that helps in any way.
> Update: This also happens for IntelliJ users, and for MacOS > Catalina update
Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
I ran into the same problem, however with svn. I found that by installing El Capitan, Xcode was "uninstalled". I reinstalled Xcode from the App Store and then reinstalled Xcode Command Line Tools via Terminal with
xcode-select --install
After installation, my /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin directory reappeared and svn started working again.
Solution 2 - Git
Instead of installing xcode you can install git from here and change the path in android studio to /usr/local/git/bin/git as shown in the image below.
This way you save time and memory.
Solution 3 - Git
Use /usr/local/git/bin/git as a path
Solution 4 - Git
In my case, Git did not work after upgrading Mac OS X High Sierra.
Fortunately, the answer provided by @Rob still works for High Sierra, so there was no need for me to actually change the xcrun developer path and no need to install all of XCode
Solution 5 - Git
I lost Git after upgrading to macOS Mojave.
The solution of re-installing XCode CLI still works fine.
In Terminal, type:
xcode-select --install
... and click "Install" on the prompt.
