    I'm very close here -- I think I just need to create a symbolic link, but I'm not sure how (and why this is need). I'm on OSX Lion btw.

    I've downloaded and installed git using this command.

    brew install git
    

    the response is

    git-1.7.12 already installed, it's just not linked
    

    How do I do this?

    when I run

    which git
    >/usr/bin/git
    

    when I run

    git --version
    >git version 1.7.4.4
    

    My paths are fine

    export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
    

    Again -- all I really need to know is how to set up the sym link. Thanks!
