How to remove git mac os x

Question

I've installed git on my mac, but I don't know how to completly remove it, because I want to reinstall it again...any tips?

Answer 1

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/git /etc/paths.d/git /etc/manpaths.d/git

Answer 2

It really depends on how you installed it.

Places to look for git:

INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local in my case (perhaps /opt/local or something else)

• INSTALL_PREFIX/git/
• INSTALL_PREFIX/bin/git*
• INSTALL_PREFIX/libexec
• INSTALL_PREFIX/share

Answer 3

If you installed Git from code.google.com, you can follow the official uninstall instructions:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/git /etc/paths.d/git /etc/manpaths.d/git

If you installed it through the Fink package manager, you can remove git with:

fink remove git
