If you have fresh installation   update of Xcode  it is possible that your git binary can t be executed  I had mine under  usr bin git   To fix this problem just run the Xcode and  Accept  license conditions and try again  it should work

You can also try with  usr local bin git  it worked for me

User · Answer

The installer from the git homepage installs into  usr local git by default  See also this answer  However  if you install XCode4  it will install a git version in  usr bin  To ensure you can easily upgrade from the website and use the latest git version  edit either your profile information to place  usr local git bin before  usr bin in the  PATH or edit  etc paths and insert  usr local git bin as the first entry  see this answer
