Had to restart R studio for git version to come up in the terminal
Hannah Koenker • October 20, 2021
I was stuck. I installed Git but got 'object not found' when I restart RStudio and checked it. Turns out I was typing in the Console but needed to be in the Terminal. Just in case others make this mistake :)
Eric Foerster • October 21, 2021
No problems with downloading Git. Using a Mac. Updated R and RStudio with no issues. However, the git --version I'm getting is 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128). Have tried downloading it again several times and cannot get version 2.33. Any ideas???
Mychal Davis • April 15, 2022
Hello, I have Git Bash installed on my machine, do I need to install GIT too?
Norm Anderson • April 16, 2022
I don't think the installation went well. I do not see the version. I have restarted RStudio.

I installed Git and get this error message when looking for it in the R Studio terminal: " 'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program, or batch file. " Git GUI, Bash, and CMD all appear in my file tree. Can you help? Thanks!
Shira Solomon • April 18, 2022
Problem solved (mine at least)! Turns out R Studio didn't like my character spacing. It responded just fine when I followed David's example: [no space] git [space] --[no space]version
Niger Sultana • April 22, 2022
bash: git version: command not found is shown after installing git. is it okay? I did not found any instruction to restart R studio. Am I following right way to install Git?
Julieth Silao • October 6, 2022
i follw all the steps but i get
object git not found
Matt Kropp • October 26, 2022
Followed the steps and it is showing an older version 2.15.0. On a M1 Mac.
Elsa Bailey • October 30, 2022
It appears that for Mac we must not click on "installer" but on the 2.33 link. Had to do that to get the updated version. (Clicking on installer gave me a 2.15.0 version)

Do I need to install Git if I'm planning to use GitHub only?
Alberto Cabrera • July 1, 2024
I installed Git and GitHub in my Mac M1 last year, after many attempts. I have the git version 2.39.3 Apple Git-146. The Git web page reports version 2.45. 2 as the current one. My questions are these: Do I need to upgrade? Do I need to reinstall Git, which makes me worry a lot?
I must confess I enroll into this course after trying unsuccessfully to learn Git and GitHub. I fear these two packages the most.
Alberto Cabrera • July 1, 2024
I also checked the version for GitHub Desktop for my Mac M1, which is 3.3.12 (arm64). It is the current one. It seems it updated itself.
My main concern is how to update Git in my Mac from my current version of 2.39/3 (Apple Git-146). I just don't want to make a mistake I will regret given my ignorance :0)
David Keyes Founder • July 1, 2024
I have found that people have better luck using GitHub Desktop than trying to install git manually (in fact, I'm going to redo this course soon to reflect this). I'd just move forward given that you seem to have a newish version of git installed. If you have issues later, just let me know.
Alberto Cabrera • July 1, 2024
A year ago, I was able to install GitHub for the desktop. It is easy to update by allowing one to check for updates. My problem is how to update the Git version for the Mac M1. My version, which I installed a year ago, is 2.39.3. I visited Git website and could not find a way to update Git.
David Keyes Founder • July 1, 2024
You should be able to just download the newest version and install that, which will overwrite your current version.
Mike LeVan • January 13, 2025
Hi. Looking to install Git (Binary installer) and the webpage listed in the lesson also says this method is "abandoned"?
There are further instructions that say :
"This was once the official stand-alone installer for Git on OS X. You can install git from official Apple packages, where sideloading is not necessary."
When I try to install the download from this page I get the following :
"Apple could not verify “git-2.15.0-intel-universal-mavericks.pkg” is free of malware that may harm your Mac or compromise your privacy."
And the package would not install.
Wound up installing Xcode.
Mike LeVan • January 13, 2025
Actually, went with GitHub Desktop.
Mike LeVan • January 13, 2025
lol, I'm a bonehead. I had paused the lesson and you then addressed how to install Git even when you get the warning message.
David Keyes Founder • January 13, 2025
Yes, GitHub Desktop is very much the answer here. In fact, I'm in the process of updating this course to just use GitHub Desktop. That will be out in 2025, and anyone who has access to the current version of the course will receive free access to the new version as well.
