Open Source Comes to Campus/Curriculum/Laptop setup/OSX git

Git sometimes comes pre-installed on Mac. To see if this is true for your machine, type in a terminal:

git --version

If this returns a version number, such as:

git version 1.7.9.5

Great, you have git installed! If it returns some kind of error, such as "No command 'git' found", go ahead and install it.

The install depends on your version of Mac OS

For other versions of Mac OS:
