I have installed Git on my Mac. When I do a "whereis" in my terminal the route is:
/usr/bin/git
I use Android Studio and the GitHub desktop client and had no problems so far.
Previously I had installed Xcode, but I uninstalled it a week ago. Since then, Android Studio does not detect Git, I get the following error:
xcrun: error: active developer path ("/Volumes/Vega/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer") does not exist, use
xcode-select --switch path/to/Xcode.app
to specify the Xcode that you wish to use for command line developer tools (or seeman xcode-select
)
Android Studio shows the same executable path to Git
indicating the terminal (/usr/bin/git
), but when I click on the "test" button it displays the same error.
I do not handle very well Git from the terminal, always use the desktop client.
What do I have to do to continue using Git on my Android studio (or anywhere) now that I uninstalled Xcode?
I searched for information but I can not fix it.
You should install the Xcode command line tools at the very least. If you're not a registered Apple Developer, however, I'm not sure how to get hold of them if Xcode is not installed. If you are a registered Apple Developer, you can get them from the Apple Developer Download site. It' probably best to re-install Xcode and you will get them as a system update.
That will give you a minimal development environment, and if you need additional tools/libraries you can build them via Macports with the command line tools installed.
