Bully Bash Mac OS
There are several options for installing Git on macOS. Note that any non-source distributions are provided by third parties, and may not be up to date with the latest source release.
Homebrew
Differences Between zsh and bash Supposedly, macOS 10.15 Catalina is slated to replace the default /bin/bash shell with zsh, or /bin/zsh. Before we talk about the differences let’s just say that bash is still here and if your script is called as bash then it will still work just fine. A FINAL UDPATE: For anyone struggling with compiling from source, as of September 29th, Apple has officially released patches for Mac OS X 10.9.5, 10.8.5 as well as 10.7.5: OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mavericks; OS X bash Update 1.0 – OS X Mountain Lion; OS X bash Update 1.0 - OS X Lion. If you did a new or clean install of OS X version 10.3.x, the default user shell is bash. Bash is essentially an enhanced and GNU freeware version of the original Bourne shell, sh. Unless you happen to like bash, I recommend either switching to tcsh or zsh.
Install homebrew if you don't already have it, then:$ brew install git

I've spent years curating a collection of Mac bash aliases and shortcuts to make my life easier. My full .bash_profile is below, feel free to take whatever you find useful and put it to good use.
A (very) quick primer on .bash_profile for Mac Users
There is a hidden file in your Mac’s user directory named .bash_profile. This file is loaded before Terminal loads your shell environment and contains all the startup configuration and preferences for your command line interface. Within it you can change your terminal prompt, change the colors of text, add aliases to functions you use all the time, and so much more.
This file is often called a ‘dot file’ because the ‘.’ at the beginning of it’s name makes it invisible in the Mac Finder. You can view all invisible files in the Terminal by typing ls -al in any directory.
How to edit your .bash_profile
For the newly initiated, here’s how you can edit the .bash_profile on your Mac.
Step 1: Fire up Terminal.app
Step 2: Type nano .bash_profile – This command will open the .bash_profile document (or create it if it doesn’t already exist) in the easiest to use text editor in Terminal – Nano.

Step 3: Now you can make a simple change to the file. Paste these lines of code to change your Terminal prompt.
Step 4: Now save your changes by typing ctrl +o Hit return to save. Then exit Nano by typing ctrl+x

Step 5: Now we need to *activate your changes. Type source .bash_profile and watch your prompt change.
My .bash_profile
I have been compiling my own set of aliases and configurations for years in which time I have borrowed copiously from others who have made their aliases available online. I can claim credit for very little of what follows. I recently became aware of alias.sh, a site making sharing BASH aliases easy. Check it out.
Update: Due to popular demand, my bash profile is now available as a Gist for your forking pleasure.
Without further ado, here is my .bash_profile:
