When I use the git --version command I get this message :
xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line developer tools.
I have the option to install these tools, cancel out or download Xcode from the Mac Appstore. What should I do?

I would recommend downloading Xcode from the Mac App Store. Xcode is the IDE used to create OS X and iOS applications and the mac developer tools come bundled with it. Git is a part of those tools so once you have it all downloaded you should be able to use Git absolutely fine!
I hope that I managed to help you out. Don't hesitate to reply if you have any more questions.

Thanks a million!
