Cocoapods fails to install Typhoon on Yosemite 10.10

[RobBrennan]

I'm not sure what the issue is here, but the Typhoon pod will not install for my Xcode project. I'm on Yosemite 10.10 and running the latest Xcode 6.1 release.

The error I get is:
$ pod install

CocoaPods 0.35.0.rc2 is available.
To update use: gem install cocoapods --pre

target 'GUITyphoonExample' do
pod 'Typhoon', '~> 2.3'
end

target 'GUITyphoonExampleTests' do

end

Any ideas how I can resolve this?

Try installing an updated version of git. This somehow broke in some version of CocoaPods. The single-branch command is only available in Git 2+ and Mac OS X ships with 1.8 or something.

You can (normally) install Typhoon via CocoaPods on Yosemite and Xcode 6.1. Initially I thought your issue would be related to:

#259
#260

(both solutions were to upgrade CocoaPods) . . but yours looks different.

[TheRobBrennan]

Resolved. You are correct - the issue was the Xcode had git version 1.7.8.4 - and upgrading to the latest one resolved the issue.

Thank you for your quick response!
