Git: 'rebase' is not a git command. See 'git --help'

Question

I set up github for mac and now I am trying to use the git command from the terminal. If I try to run the `git rebase` command I get the following message ``` > cd /Applications/GitHub.app/Contents/Resources/git/bin > git rebase git: 'rebase' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. >git --help usage: git [--version] [--exec-path[=]] [--html-path] [--man-path] [--info-path] [-p|--paginate|--no-pager] [--no-replace-objects] [--bare] [--git-dir=] [--work-tree=] [--namespace=] [-c name=value] [--help] [] The most commonly used git commands are: ... rebase Forward-port local commits to the updated upstream head .... ``` So as you can see from the help output the option rebase is present. What is wrong in my git? ``` git --version git version 1.7.8.2 ```

Accepted Answer

For me, I found that to fix this error message ("`'rebase' is not a git command`") I needed to set up Git "exec-path", either via command-line for one-shot use, or better via environment variable:

```
export GIT_EXEC_PATH=/PATH/TO/git/libexec/git-core
```
