How do I replace /usr/bin/git? I got the updated brew version downloaded already.

  This is in the linked post. Do this to disable it: sudo chmod -x /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git

    chmod: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git: No such file or directory I don't have Xcode installed, do I have to install it back to do this?

      No, vulnerable git ships with Xcode.

      If you don't have Xcode installed then you don't have git. IIRC, you might have a /usr/bin/git executable but that's not actually git, all it does is shows a GUI that prompts you to install XCode

        Thanks. Yea, /usr/bin/git is still there: $ git --version $ git version 2.6.4 (Apple Git-63) But glad to know it won't do anything.

          Try: % xcrun --find git

      If you do not have Xcode installed but do have the Command Line Tools, you will find the vulnerable git /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git so the command would be: sudo chmod -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git

    sudo cp /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git /somewhere/to/backup/just/in/case sudo rm /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/git /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git

      Is the git binary where the vulnerability is... or is it in one of these: $ ls $(git --exec-path)
