Mac OSX: can't start Git after updating Mac OS/XCode

I tried the proposed solution and got the following error:

xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance

Here is what you need to do:

1. Download Xcode through the AppStore, if you don't have it.

2. sudo xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

3. sudo xcodebuild -license

Tried executing this command which gave me an error saying "xcode-select: error: tool 'xcodebuild' requires Xcode, but active developer directory '/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools' is a command line tools instance".

Hence i just restarted my IntelliJ and git started working as expected.

After upgrade to 10.13.3 last night I am getting 

Fetch failed: Could not read from remote repository.

Git pull from command line works correctly.

I have tried 

1 - sudo xcode-select -r (resets xcode-select path)

2 - sudo xcodebuild -license (accepted the license)

3 - Run xcode (it opens correctly)

4 - restart machine

The -license   solution did not work for me after installing Sierra  (10.12.2)

This did.

This worked after High Sierra upgrade.  Thanks for sharing

This tip totally works!!! Thanks.

Thanks @Rusty. It's the correct solution.

If you have a private repo on a macOS machine, you have to make sure you agree to the license on both devices!

Yes that also fixed it for me

switching to native SSH client in prefs worked for me

same error as `Michael Dudley`. tired same steps with no luck MacOS 10.13.3 (17D102)

I just started Xcode after downloading it from the app store. Then the error message was gone.

for me i first executed

1 - sudo xcode-select -r (resets xcode-select path)

2 - sudo xcodebuild -license (accepted the license)

now all works fine.

xcode-select --install

This worked for me after getting the same error as @Dan

The solution works for me after installing Xcode with Sierra 10.12.5. Thank you for the tip!

After updating xcode I also had a warning about missing git on mac.

For some reason git 's path was in /usr/local/bin folder in the initial settings so I changed it to /usr/bin. Weird

This fixed the issue for me too but now I am not able to find any of my projects files when I open the project in Intelli J. All the files that were tracked by Git are not getting displayed. Please help... This is a showstopper issue for my team. 

thanks!!!

Thanks

it works for me too - thx

Thanks for the help. It fixed the problem with the phpstorm came with an error message after installing Xcode from apple, where I had to accept the licence aggrements before running git

Another simple way to install these tools is simply to try to run one of them. If it’s not installed, OS X will give you a prompt that asks if you want to install it. If you agree, it does it quickly and easily!

Hi, 

Thanks for the tip. It works but now whenever I'm in a git directory, all my CLI est extremely slow.

Even a simple 'return' with no command takes ~14seconds. I can't even see me type in real time.

Any reason for this?

Thanks

Great. This worked. Thanks!

This works for me with the recent update of MacOS to 10.9.5 and also of XCode to Version 6.0.1 (the update that includes iOS8 functionality.) I do all my development work in a standard user account, not in an administrative account. Running the above sudo command as an ordinary user did require the administrator password. After that, the license agreement could be agreed to just fine. That in turn allowed me to run my command line software builds. I think seeing this message is a sign that the command line tools parts of XCode have been updated.
