Courses Plus Student 26,868 PointsHi, Daniel, go with Joshua's approach if you want a super easy painless way to install git;
Homebrew is a package manager for OS X, it can be used to install git and many other toolsets, but sometimes people has trouble getting it setup right.

416 Pointsthanks, i have installed homebrew. I ran the comand brew doctor and it gave me warnings that says: wanring: /Libray/framework/libcurl.framework detected this can picked up by Cmake's build system and likely cause the build to fail. you may need to move this file out of the way to compile CMake
warning: unbrewed dylibs were found in /usr./local/lib. if you didn't put them there on purposed they could cause problems when building Homebrew formulae, and may need to be delete /usr/local/lib/libguide.dylib /usr/local/lib/libklf.ONGL.dylib /usr/local/lib/Noesis.dylib
what should i do with that?
