Troubleshooting: Missing Git required tool on macOS

If you’re a Mac user, you may have come across an issue where you have correctly installed the version of Git that you need (git-scm), but still see this when you open Codux:
This issue is a result of the built-in version of Git that Apple ships with Xcode on macOS, and the use of the system’s ‘git’ alias. As a result, this issue commonly shows itself after macOS version updates and patches.
Fortunately, there is an easy fix to this issue. All you need to do is update Xcode CLI tools (even if you don’t have or need Xcode). To do this, run the following command in the terminal:
1
xcode-select --install
After you’ve run the command, the Xcode CLI tools will update, and Codux will be able to use your version of Git.
Note that if you don’t have the command line developer tools installed, you’ll have to install them before you can run the command.
Note:
If you’ve installed Xcode CLI tools and you still see the message when Codux starts, you can use the Copy Diagnostics button on that screen to copy the diagnostic information to your clipboard. This information can potentially help you or a support agent identify and resolve the problem.
