In today’s release of GitHub for Mac, you can now
easily install Git for use on the command line, without
needing to download any separate packages. And whenever we update the version of
Git included with GitHub for Mac, you’ll get the changes automatically – no

Once installed, you can open up Terminal.app and run git
commands to your
heart’s content. Command line aficionados, rejoice!
Update: We’ve since removed the ability to install Git from GitHub for Mac, because OS X Mavericks and later includes a version of Git already.
