<strong>For macOS</strong>, install Git for Mac
by downloading and running the most recent "mavericks" installer from
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">this list</a>.
Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click
Open on the pop up window.
After installing Git, there will not be anything in your <code>/Applications</code> folder,
as Git is a command line program.
Please open the Terminal app, type <code>git --version</code> and press
<kbd>Enter</kbd>/<kbd>Return</kbd>. If it's not installed already,
follow the instructions to <code>Install</code> the "command line
developer tools". <strong>Do not click</strong> "Get Xcode", because that will
take too long and is not necessary for our Git lesson.
After installing these tools, there won't be anything in your <code>/Applications</code>
folder, as they and Git are command line programs.
<strong>For older versions of OS X (10.5-10.8)</strong> use the
most recent available installer labelled "snow-leopard"
<a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/git-osx-installer/files/">available here</a>.
(Note: this project is no longer maintained.)
Because this installer is not signed by the developer, you may have to
right click (control click) on the .pkg file, click Open, and click
Open in the pop-up dialog. You can watch
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9LQhwETCdwY ">a video tutorial about this case</a>.
