Install Git on macOS Mojave, Sierra, or an older Mac OSX version by getting the latest git version from the Git home page or from the direct macOS latest link. This will download the latest version of Git to your desktop/download area as a dmg file, (it says mavericks in the file name but just ignore that). Open the dmg file, then Control/Right Click the git.pkg file to install. The latest release of Fork for Mac is now available for download. This version ships with more new features than usual – some of them will be featured in greater detail in a separate post.
At this stage you will have to install the qualifying operating system(Windows 7 with SP1 or Windows 8.1), activate it, update it with all latest updates and then upgrade to Windows 10. Windows 10 free download for mac with product key. This will carry forward your activation status to Windows 10. This key will now be tied to the device`s BIOS along with the hardware IDs.

I'm running Git version 1.6.5.1. The binary is sitting in /usr/local/git/bin. Is there an easy way to update to the latest version?

From the Git README file:
Simply download the latest Git installer, run the provided uninstall.sh script, and then install as normal.

Git For Mac
the simplest way I found so far is from git official website.
The other major way is to install Git via MacPorts (http://www.macports.org). If you have MacPorts installed, install Git via
$ sudo port install git-core +svn +doc +bash_completion +gitweb

Downloader For MacNot the answer you're looking for? Browse other questions tagged gitmacos or ask your own question.I have XCode installed (and consequently its bundled git); how do I get my system to use this version instead?How To Download Git
Xcode installs its git to
/usr/bin/git ; recent versions of OS X (Yosemite and later) ship with stubs in /usr/bin, which takeprecedence over this git. To overcome, do the following:
Note, you will need to restart your shell after so-doing, as most shells (bash) cache command location resolution from PATH.

Builds have been updated to create symlinks in
/usr/local/bin to run git. El Capitan no longer allows modifications to /usr/bin , and /usr/local/bin is preferred over /usr/bin , by default.
The installer installs the
uninstall.sh script, which has also been updated to remove the new symlinks created.
The installer no longer uses
PackageMaker . Instead, it uses pkgbuild , which is much simpler, and is the supported way of doing packages.

Mavericks builds have been published to address issues running
git gui . Going forward, Snow Leopard and Mavericks builds will be published.
Also, the Makefile has been fixed to enable 32-bit builds of the OS X keychain credential helper. Universal builds have returned, reducing one more decision the user has to make when determining the appropriate download version.

32-bit builds for Snow Leopard (and later) are back. These were created on a 64-bit installation of Mac OS X Snow Leopard.

As announced on the git mailing list, git for OS X
The following versions contain the fix:
Support for older operating systems restored / apology
64-bit builds for Snow Leopard (and later) have been published. There was an issue with the build script in which the compilation Framework was not being properly specified, and this effectively caused it to be ignored. As a result, the builds were not working on 10.8.x and earlier. I apologize deeply for this error. Further compounding the issue was lack of feedback channels, and the negative reviews were not emailed to me. This was my fault as I did not set up adequate instructions for how to ask for help. I've updated the project home page with a link to the GitHub issue tracker, and have done various cleanup to reduce clutter remaining since the transition from Google Code.
Improved build process
The build process has been greatly improved; the cumbersome script has been replaced with a more declarative Makefile. A check has been added to assert that the 32-bit package actually contain 32-bit executables.
