Question

I’m attempting to install Git on my new MBP and am following the documentation @ https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git.

I seem to have hit a snag at the point where it says : If you do not have the helper, you can download it and copy it to /usr/local/bin

I navigated to /usr/local/bin in terminal and did a sudo wget [link to osxkeychain]. When I try to do a git config --global credential.helper osxkeychain I get a fatal: cannont exec 'git-credential-osxkeychain': Permission denied.

What did I do wrong?

Thanks!

Make the downloaded file executable:

chmod 755 git-credential-osxkeychain
