There are a couple of points to this answer  Firstly  you don t need to install Xcode  The Git installer works perfectly well  However  if you want to use Git from within Xcode - it expects to find an installation under  usr local bin  If you have your own Git installed elsewhere - I ve got a script that fixes this  Second is to do with the path  My Git path used to be kept under  etc paths d  However  a Mac  OS  X  v10 7  Lion  install overwrites the contents of this folder and the  etc paths file as well  That s what happened to me and I got the same error  Recreating the path file fixed the problem

You have to find where the Git executable is and then add the folder to the PATH environment variable in file  bash profile  Using terminal   Search for Git   sudo find   -name git   Edit the  bash profile file  Add   PATH  quot  lt Directory of Git gt   PATH quot     Git is back  -  Anyway  I suggest you to install Git using MacPorts  In this way you can easily upgrade your Git instance to the newest release
