Creates a macOS installer for git

This is updated to create universal Intel + Apple Silicon binaries. It targets only macOS Sierra and later.

Install

Download the most recent release and run it. This installs to /usr/local on both Intel and Apple Silicon. This may conflict with brew's installed git on Intel.

Uninstall

Run /usr/local/bin/git/uninstall

Notes

This does not include:

  • gettext support and thus does not include translations (macOS has never included a gettext library)
  • git-svn (macOS does not include svn)

Optionally this does not include:

  • git gui or gitk (macOS has deprecated the system Tk, doesn't seem to work at all anyways)
  • Documentation for git-subtree

To build a new package

Requires Xcode Command Line Tools to build (which can be installed with xcode-select --install). To include git-subtree documentation, you also require brew (see brew.sh).

git clone https://github.com/MoravianUniversity/git_osx_installer.git
cd git_osx_installer
#make INCLUDE_SUBTREE_DOC=1 setup  # only required if including git-subtree documentation 
make package  # options: INCLUDE_SUBTREE_DOC=1 INCLUDE_GUI=1
