Removing git from /usr/bin
What's the best way to remove git and the following components from /usr/bin to only use Homebrew's?
Your shell uses the non-Homebrew binaries only because they come first in your $PATH
.
So, in your ~/.bash_profile
(or ~/.profile
, depending on which you use), add the following line:
export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
Remove all other PATH
assignments that would put /usr/local/bin
after $PATH
, because then, /usr/bin
would come first, and your shell would use the system git
.
You could remove the Git installations in /usr/bin
, but it's up to which one to choose. I believe at some point you used the git-osx-installer, which put it there, but there's no problem keeping both installations. You just have to know which one you want to use.
