I just installed git 1.6.4.4 after downloading a DMG package from here.

I now have /usr/local/git. But it isn’t in my PATH. So I need to add it.

My question is, should I add just /usr/local/git/bin, or do I also need to add one or more of these other directories?

$ cd /usr/local/git/
$ ls -al

    No, all you need to add is /usr/local/git/bin. You can test this by running it directly:

    /usr/local/git/bin/git

    and see whether it works.
