I have just upgraded git. It's now a symlink to the Cellared most recent version.
$ ls -l `which git` /usr/local/bin/git -> ../Cellar/git/2.14.1/bin/git However
$git --version git version 2.11.0 (Apple Git-81) Do I have two different versions installed at once? How can I clean up the remnants of the Apple Git-81 version?
In ~/.bash_profile you should amend PATH to prefer binaries supplied by homebrew. You can do this with the line:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH After changing .bash_profile you will need to open a new Terminal.app window to see the change take place. Alternatively, you can source ~/.bash_profile to load in the profile into the current session.
For me Homebrew installed into a different directory so I had to find that and add that to the PATH. Brew info git does not tell you either so you may just have to hunt for it. For me, the path below worked for me.
export PATH=/usr/local/Cellar/git/2.34.1/bin:$PATH
Then, as others said above, you must add it to your ~/bash_profile so that your PATH is changed the next time you reboot.
Note: 2.34.1 is your version number so you will have to use your version number You could also create/change a link that is probably already in /usr/local/bin to point to your path. See this link for details on how to do that: How can I create a symbolic link in Terminal? Using a link is probably the recommended way to fix this.
/usr/local/opt) with symlinks to the most recent version of all installed packages. So if you use export PATH=$(brew --prefix)/opt/git/bin:$PATH you won‘t need to change PATH after each update.
which gitin a new Terminal session?
