I am trying to setup git on my Mac through this link (http://help.github.com/mac-set-up-git/). I was successful until Step 5 and I do see the message Hi kharagpur! You've successfully authenticated, but GitHub does not provide shell access.

When I try the next step (“Then: Setting Up Your info”) I run into problems -bash: git: command not found when I tried to execute git config --global user.name "Firstname Lastname"

I am executing this line from the user/(myusername)/

My main goal is to setup github and pull projects from a repo to my local computer so I can code using Eclipse.

Any help appreciated and thank you in advance.

    It sounds like you did not install git.

    This worked for me (MacOSX Lion):

    Get the installer:

    curl -O http://git-osx-installer.googlecode.com/files/git-1.7.9.1-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg

    Mount:

    hdiutil attach ./git-1.7.9.1-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg

    Install:

    sudo installer -pkg /Volumes/Git\ 1.7.9.1\ Snow\ Leopard\ Intel\ Universal/git-1.7.9.1-intel-universal-snow-leopard.pkg -target /

    Unmount:

    hdiutil detach /Volumes/Git\ 1.7.9.1\ Snow\ Leopard\ Intel\ Universal/

    Clean up:

    rm git-1.7.9.1-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg
