I have installed GIT 1.7.7.1 via homebrew and had to do a

sudo brew link git

to link git to

/usr/local/bin

When I run git –version in terminal I get an older version of Git (1.7.5.6)

Is it possible to link to the new version instead?

    Looks like /usr/bin go before /usr/local/bin in $PATH and hence take precedence. I suggest to change order of paths in $PATH.

    (Also you may try to define alias: alias git=/usr/local/bin/git)
