Git Solutions
Solution 1 - Git
Is it in your PATH? If so just run which git in the terminal and it will tell you.
Solution 2 - Git
The installer from [the git homepage][2] installs into /usr/local/git by default. See also [this answer][1]. However, if you install XCode4, it will install a git version in /usr/bin. To ensure you can easily upgrade from the website and use the latest git version, edit either your profile information to place /usr/local/git/bin before /usr/bin in the $PATH or edit /etc/paths and insert /usr/local/git/bin as the first entry ([see this answer][3]).

Solution 3 - Git
simply type in which git in your terminal window and it will show you exactly where it was installed.
Solution 4 - Git
you can simply use this command on a terminal to find out git on unix platforms (mac/linux) -
whereis git
This command should return something like - /usr/bin/git or any other location where git is installed
Solution 5 - Git
On most of UNIX based sys, its at /usr/bin/git (if installed with default options)
all git related scripts are at /usr/libexec/git-core
Solution 6 - Git
Usually some of the applications have been known to take it from the Xcode.app path also: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/
Coda 2, prefers this path than the soft link at /usr/bin.
Solution 7 - Git
You can also try with /usr/local/bin/git it worked for me
Solution 8 - Git
Mostly in /usr/local/git (there are also /etc/paths.d/git and /etc/manpaths.d/git items).
Solution 9 - Git
On Linux the command is whereis. Alternatively you can issue find / -name git and wait for an eternity. Alternatively try echo $PATH | sed "s/:/ /g" | xargs -L 1 ls | grep git
Solution 10 - Git
If you have fresh installation / update of Xcode, it is possible that your git binary can't be executed (I had mine under /usr/bin/git). To fix this problem just run the Xcode and "Accept" license conditions and try again, it should work.
Solution 11 - Git
On Mojave
The binary is in
/usr/bin/git
The related scripts are here
/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/libexec/git-core/git
