Using git version 1.7.5.4 on my MAC

When trying to pull from remote, i am getting the

git: 'pull' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. error.

This used to work. Something changed on my system, not sure what.

How can this be resolved please? What might be the problem here?

Solution

Can you confirm that git-core is in the correct place?

iMac:~ david$ git --exec-path
/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core
iMac:~ david$ ls /usr/local/git/libexec/
git-core
iMac:~ david$

We sure don't know better than you what you did to your machine. Try reinstalling git?

Did you look at this?

I have /usr/libexec/git-core coming back, following by ls: /usr/libexec/git-core: No such file or directory. Where could my path have been screwed up? I am using oh-my-zsh with plugins=(git) entry. This change is the only one i can think of

Do you have the same directory as me per chance? You could always create a symlink to fix the discrepancy or create a git alias that sets --exec-path.

I searched for the git-core and added it to path. All is ok now. Not sure what happened. Thanks man
