Or download the official git binary (https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/ https://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/) if you don't even want devtools. Been a while since I did that, but there are plenty of other things I avoid building or downloading from a package manager (like NodeJS or Python).

> the official git binary Unfortunately, as the git website [1] states, these are fairly out of date (currently 2.33 from 2021-08-30). To get something recent, you have to build them yourself, which requires...devtools. Seems bizarre, to me, that they don't have them built automatically.

  Yeah, it's weird how out of date it is, but it also doesn't matter a lot. I think my laptop still has a version of git from 2018.

    Some tools, with git integration, require the newer versions. For example, newer PyCharm requires newer git.
