AFAKI, from all my OS X using coworkers, Homebrew's the way that modern Mac developers install Git. Mac Ports may still be around, but I was sure it was losing against its competitor, Homebrew. Not so sure if the Mac installer autoupdates. The exception to all this is those GUI users who have a bundled Git library (libgit2, jgit), or the git-core, as part of whatever GUI tool they prefer. _______________________________________________ Linux mailing list Linux@lists.oclug.on.ca http://oclug.on.ca/mailman/listinfo/linux
