The default install location is */usr/local*, so add this to your *~/.bash_profile* file:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/git/bin/

Then run `source ~/.bash_profile` in Terminal.



If you do not want to install Xcode and/or [MacPorts][1]/[Fink][2]/[Homebrew][3], you could always use the standalone installer: https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/

  [2]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fink_(software)
  [3]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homebrew_(package_manager)






You have to find where the Git executable is and then add the folder to the [PATH][1] environment variable in file *.bash_profile*.

Using terminal:

1) Search for Git:

        sudo find / -name git

2) Edit the *.bash_profile* file. Add:

        PATH=&quot;&lt;Directory of Git&gt;:$PATH&quot;

Git is back :-)

Anyway, I suggest you to install Git using [MacPorts][2]. In this way you can easily upgrade your Git instance to the newest release.

There are a couple of points to this answer.

Firstly, you don&#39;t need to install Xcode. The Git installer works perfectly well. However, if you want to use Git from within Xcode - it expects to find an installation under /usr/local/bin. If you have your own Git installed elsewhere - I&#39;ve got [a script][1] that fixes this.

Second is to do with the path. My Git path used to be kept under `/etc/paths.d/` However, a [Mac&amp;nbsp;OS&amp;nbsp;X&amp;nbsp;v10.7][2] (Lion) install overwrites the contents of this folder and the `/etc/paths` file as well. That&#39;s what happened to me and I got the same error. Recreating the path file fixed the problem.

It&#39;s part of [Xcode][1]. You&#39;ll need to reinstall the developer tools.

You can always use [MacPorts][1]...

OK, so I know there are tons of articles stating I shouldn&#39;t use DOUBLE to store money on a MySQL database, or I&#39;ll end up with tricky precision bugs. The point is I am not designing a new database, I am ask to find way to optimise an existing system. The newer version contains 783 DOUBLE typed columns, most of them used to store money or formula to compute money amount.

So my first opinion on the subject was I should highly recommend a conversion from DOUBLE to DECIMAL in the next version, because the MySQL doc and everybody say so. But then I couldn&#39;t find any good argument to justify this recommandation, for three reasons :

 - We do not perform any calculation on the database. All operations are done in Java using BigDecimal, and MySQL is just used as a plain storage for results.
 - The 15 digits precision a DOUBLE offers is plenty enough since we store mainly amounts with 2 decimal digits, and occasionaly small numbers wit 8 decimal digits for formula arguments.
 - We have a 6 years record in production with no known issue of bug due to a loss of precision on the MySQL side.

Even by performing operations on a 18 millons rows table, like SUM and complex multiplications, I couldn&#39;t perform a bug of lack of precision. And we don&#39;t actually do this sort of things in production. I can show the precision lost by doing something like 

`SELECT columnName * 1.000000000000000 FROM tableName;`

But I can&#39;t figure out a way to turn it into a bug at the 2nd decimal digit. Most of the real issues I found on the internet are 2005 and older forum entries, and I couldn&#39;t reproduce any of them on a 5.0.51 MySQL server.

So as long as we do not perform any SQL arithmetic operations, which we do not plan to do, are there any issue we should expect from only storing and retreiving a money amount in a DOUBLE column ?

I am trying with Gradle first time. I am trying with a maven java project to compile and create a jar file. It is compiling and creating the jar file in build/libs directory as 

&gt; **trunk**-XXXVERSION-SNAPSHOT.jar

I am running gradle build file from trunk directory of this maven java project. 

I want to get the project name (for ex: project1) in the jar file name, something like 

&gt; **project1**-XXXVERSION-SNAPSHOT.jar

 in build/libs directory.
Please suggest.

I just upgraded my Mac to [Mac&amp;nbsp;OS&amp;nbsp;X&amp;nbsp;v10.7][1] (Lion), and now Git is gone:

    $ git

Git on Mac OS X v10.7 (Lion)

I just upgraded my Mac to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Lion" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Mac OS X v10.7</a> (Lion), and now Git is gone:
<pre><code class="hljs language-bash">$ git

How can I get Git back?

I created a new git branch `B` from branch `A` with tracking option.

Now, when `A` branch gets updated by few commits, I want to pull the commits to `B` as well, so I can keep track of it, and do not have to face big change sometimes later.

How should I approach this? Is it automatically done in git?

Updating the current branch from parent branch

I have a Git repository with n commits.

I have a file that I need, and that used to be in the repository, and that I suddenly look for and think &quot;Oh! Where&#39;d that file go?&quot;

Is there a (series of) Git command(s) that will tell me that &quot;file really_needed.txt was deleted at commit n-13&quot;?

In other words, without looking at every individual commit, and knowing that my Git repo has every change of every file, can I quickly find the last commit that HAS that file, so I can get it back?

My `git` client repeatedly fails with the following error after trying to clone the repository for some time.

What could be the issue here?

I wonder why git tells me this?

    $ git diff MyFile.txt
    diff --git a/MyFile.txt b/MyFile.txt
    index d41a4f3..15dcfa2 100644
    Binary files a/MyFile.txt and b/MyFile.txt differ

Aren&#39;t they text files?

I have checked the `.gitattributes` and it is empty. Why I am getting this message ?, I cannot get diffs as I use to anymore

**ADDED :**


I&#39;ve noticed there is an `@` in the file permissions, what is this ?, Could this be the reason ?

Why does Git treat this text file as a binary file?

I&#39;m in the middle of a large merge, and I&#39;ve used `git mergetool` to resolve all the conflicts, but I have not committed yet, as I wanted to make sure the merge was ok first.

It turns out that I made a mistake while resolving the conflicts in one file, and I would like to redo the conflict resolution with `git mergetool` on that file. As this is a large merge I would like to avoid redoing the merge on all the other files, as I understand I would have to do with `git merge --abort`.

I know I could just edit the file manually, but this would be quite tedious and it would be much easier to just redo the `git mergetool` operation. Is this possible?

I&#39;m a little confused with the python on osx. I do not know if the previous owner of the laptop has installed macpython using macport. And I remembered that osx has an builtin version of python. I tried using `type -a python` and the result returned 

    python is /usr/bin/python
    python is /usr/local/bin/python

However running both python at these locations give me `[GCC 4.2.1 (Apple Inc. build 5646)] on darwin`. Do they both refer to the same builtin python mac provided?

I also read that installing macpython one would 

         A MacPython 2.5 folder in your Applications folder. In here you
     find IDLE, the development environment that is a standard part of
     official Python distributions...

I looked at `Applications`, and theres a `MacPort` folder with `python2.6` and the mentioned stuff in it. But running IDLE, i find the same message as above.

Hmm I&#39;m a little confused. Which is which?

I&#39;ve searched a bit, but I can&#39;t find an existing tool for this.

I have a Node.js web server that is designed to run on your own computer that does some snazzy things for you.  It would be pretty awesome if I could double click `MySnazzyThing.app` instead of installing Node.js, and npm and running `node mysnazzyapp.js` on the command line.

The `.app` executable would spool up the Node.js server and open a simple native [WebKit][1] window which would show what would normally be on `localhost:3000` if I were running on the command line.

This native application could then, say, be distributed through the Mac [App&amp;nbsp;Store][2].  And bam, a Node.js desktop application.

Does any such tool exist? Or are there any technical reasons that this wouldn&#39;t work as I imagine it?

After upgrading to Mac OSX Lion I figured out that /etc/hosts is not looked up in first place for name resolution anymore. This leads to some side effects like:

 1. Entries in /etc/hosts are resolved painfully slow
 2. You can&#39;t not override existing domains, e.g. 127.0.0.1 www.google.com
 3. If you get search domain entries from DHCP, let say .lan, and some funny guy configured localhost.lan to something else then 127.0.0.1 in the local DNS you can not reach your localhost anymore.

Is this behavior intended? Does it make any sense? And most important, how can I come back to the old behavior.

I&#39;m developing a project on OS X Lion that is under Git version control. I had these lowercase directories and then later capitalized them (e.g. emailaddresses =&gt; EmailAddresses), but Git doesn&#39;t seem to recognize the change. It still thinks the directories are lowercase when I run `git ls-files` and other commands.

Is this harmless, or should I do something else to get Git to pick up on this change?

I installed PostgreSQL using Homebrew on Lion. It starts okay but wouldn&#39;t shutdown. I tried:

    $ #started with
    $ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres -l /usr/local/var/postgres/server.log start
    $ #tried stoping with
    $ pg_ctl -D /usr/local/var/postgres stop -m immediate
    waiting for server to shut down................................... failed
    pg_ctl: server does not shut down

I fixed this issue by deleting the Launch Agent:

    launchctl unload -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist
    rm ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.postgresql.postgres.plist

I&#39;m trying to install Imagemagick on OSX Lion but something is not working as expected.

brew doctor says:

    We couldn&#39;t detect gcc 4.0.x. Some formulae require this compiler.

    Some &quot;config&quot; scripts were found in your path, but not in system or Homebrew folders.

    `./configure` scripts often look for *-config scripts to determine if software packagesare installed, and what additional flags to use when compiling and linking.

    Having additional scripts in your path can confuse software installed via Homebrew if the config script overrides a system or Homebrew provided script of the same name.

&gt; Unable to load realm info from SCDynamicStore

It doesn&#39;t appear to be causing any issues with the functionality of Hadoop.

**[edit]** I was troubleshooting problems with my development environment when I noticed one of my problems was the dependency on ImageMagick, since it&#39;s a vital part of my app.

---

After upgrading to OS X Lion (10.7) i no longer had ImageMagick available, i then tried installing again using MacPorts without success, i then installed from source, and the install wasn&#39;t very successfully i had convert and identify but it output error messages that i unfortunately dont have anymore, i by some strange reason decided to remove all of my MacPort libraries and started using Homebrew, i tried installing ImageMagick, it installs OK but when i try to use it throws this error

    dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
      Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/convert
      Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libltdl.7.dylib provides version 10.0.0
    Trace/BPT trap: 5

I read online but i have no clue on whats going on here, i found that libltdl is called libtool, and that i obviously need to upgrade it to a newer version, but i havent found any indication of how or where to find the source, or if this should be already be handled by homebrew and why it hasn&#39;t.

I tried installing ImageMagick again from source using [this installer script https://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl](https://github.com/masterkain/ImageMagick-sl) but when i try to use convert it throws a similar error.

    $ convert gnome.jpg -resize 50% gnome_.jpg
    dyld: Library not loaded: /opt/local/lib/libltdl.7.dylib
      Referenced from: /usr/local/bin/convert
      Reason: Incompatible library version: convert requires version 11.0.0 or later, but libltdl.7.dylib provides version 10.0.0
    Trace/BPT trap: 5

    $ which convert
    /usr/local/bin/convert

What can i do to solve my problem?
