OS X 10.10: Errors Finding and Using brew and Git
The last time I used brew and Git, which was a couple of weeks ago, everything worked fine. Now, however, when I type git --version
in the terminal, I get
git: error: unable to find utility "git", not a developer tool or in PATH.
I have a Git folder in my / usr / local directory, though ...
If I try brew update
I get the same error, plus
Error: Failure while executing: git init.
brew install git
leads to:
clang: error: unable to find utility "clang", not a developer tool or in PATH
otool: error: unable to find utility "otool", not a developer tool or in PATH
Error: Failure while executing: /usr/bin/otool -L /usr/bin/install_name_tool
So, something seems to be seriously wrong with my Git installation (and brew?), Or at least its path.
If I specify the path manually by typing
export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
in the terminal and then ask for my Git version, I get the correct output:
git version 2.3.5
Can someone tell me what is wrong here, or how can I fix my path for Git and brew to work again?
OMG, I got it! I did two weeks ago: I installed Python 3.4 and uninstalled Python 2.7, which is preinstalled on OS X. And only now I found out that Python 2.7 is vital for Xcode, so I just installed it again.
Now that both Python versions are on my system, Xcode not only works again without complaint, but brew no longer produces any errors ...
This is a common problem, namely the error:
git pull
error: unable to find 2fcd18343b3817d1ed79a72c0c878811fd27e833
The idea is to use:
git revert HEAD
(it's probably not the best, but it seems to work)
I would suggest looking also How can I checkout from a Git repository via an HTTP proxy? , he may give you an additional idea on how to solve the problem.
Good luck! Hope this helps you.
