Question

I’m very close here, I think I just need to create a symbolic link, but I’m not sure how (and why this is need).

I downloaded and installed git using this command:

brew install git

The response is:

git-1.7.12 already installed, it's just not linked

How do I do this?

When I run:

which git
>/usr/bin/git

When I run:

git --version
>git version 1.7.4.4

My paths are fine:

export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"

Again, all I really need to know is how to set up the symlink.

Answer 1

By using the link subcommand:

brew link git
