Why install git from Homebrew? Git is included in macOS. Sometimes the Apple version of a program is outdated or just different but macOS Sierra has git version 2.13.6, less than six months old.
- daveFNbuck 9y agoInstalling it from homebrew requires minimal effort and can keep you more up-to-date than the system version. It requires more effort to figure out that the included version is "only" half a year old than to just install a newer version from homebrew.
