How can I access the 'GitHub for Mac' command-line utility from the terminal?
git, github-for-mac, osx-lion
Solution
The "GitHub for Mac" command-line utility is just a tool for launching "GitHub for Mac" in the current directory.
To install the `git` command line tool use either Homebrew (`brew install git`) or the Git for OS X installer.
Problem
I recently installed GitHub for Mac, the graphical Git client from GitHub, and also the command-line utility from its menu, shown below: I was notified the command-line utility had been installed in `/usr/local/github`, but when I checked it had actually been put in `/usr/local/bin/github` - details shown below: When I try to run `git` I get `-bash: git: command not found`, so I added `export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH` to `~/.profile` thinking it would solve the issue, but it hasn't - all that seems to be different is I can now start GitHub for Mac from the terminal by typing `github`. Please could someone with more knowledge explain what's happening here?
