hi, the git version on the terminal output is that of Xcode installation - not that of Homebrew installation. You may check this with: "which git" or "where git" on Terminal. OR simply look up the Terminal screen to see the git version being installed by Homebrew. To see the correct brew git version(2.43.0) in your case: exit the Terminal and restart the Terminal, then check git version(assumption is that the path is set correctly). Otherwise, helpful video.

in my terminal instead of installing Homebrew, why did the terminal tell me that The Xcode Command Line Tools will be installed?

[@code_wizard]

You'll want to follow the prompt to install those too. On Mac there's not much you can do without the Xcode Command line tools, and you need them to run certain software/commands in the terminal (including homebrew). Sometimes they are already installed by default, other times they are not in which case you'll need to follow the prompt and install them.

[@mashiro3696]

Are you sure? Isn't 'git version 2.39.3 (Apple Git-145)' the system's original git? Typing 'which git', it;s in /usr/bin/git, not homebrew directory

[@sivakumarm3569]

After the installation of Git using homebrew quit the terminal and reopen it. Then you can see the latest version without Apple. Then if you type which git then you can see homebrew directory

export PATH=/opt/homebrew/bin:$PATH

[@mdshahabuddin1806]

now check. I hope it will solve

[@cenme4536]

oh my god. ive been watching yt tutorials for a whole week trying to update my git and it just keeps saying my version is 2.15.0..WTF? Literally nothing is working and ive searched stack overflow and yt for hours trying to figure this out. Is anyone else going through the same thing?

[@code_wizard]

Did you install via brew install git? Sometimes you need to link it via: brew link --force git@2.34 (or whatever version you installed). Then restart your terminal.

[@code_wizard]

And if that still doesn't work update your path variable in .zshrc or .bash_profile: PATH="/usr/local/opt/git@VERSION/bin:$PATH" (replace VERSION with whatever version you installed), then restart terminal

I cant type password

[@sanjar_yuldashev1331]

you don't see the password when you type it.
Just write your password and press enter, and it moves on to the next steps. At least, that is what I did.

[@naturesrevolution]

@@sanjar_yuldashev1331 thank you got it

[@user-by4vv5nv4v]

zsh: command not found: brew
echo 'PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bash_profile dont help.

[@capetechiehub]

- Run these two commands in your terminal to add Homebrew to your PATH:
1. (echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /Users/xxxxxxxxxx/.zprofile
2. eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
replace xxxxxxxxxx with your profile name
