I can’t find the git
2.10 binary so I run
which git
/usr/local/bin/git
Excellent, found it.
And then I check it’s version to verify I am looking at the right version
/usr/local/bin/git –version
git version 2.21.0
Oops that isn’t what I wanted.
There must be another git
getting loaded earlier in the search path.
Here is how to find out where all copies of git
live
type -a git
git is /usr/local/bin/git
git is /usr/local/bin/git
git is /usr/bin/git
Look for the right git
at version 2.10
/usr/local/bin/git –version
/usr/bin/git –version
git version 2.21.0
git version 2.14.3 (Apple Git-98)
I want the second one.
That is how to track down the location of a binary file on macOS that appears multiple times in the search path.
