I upgraded from OSX 10.9 to 10.10. When I try to 

git status

I get 

Agreeing to the Xcode/iOS license requires admin privileges, please re-run as root via sudo.
  1. Why do I have to accept a new TOS to run git? Is there a workaround to accepting new Xcode TOS?

I know that I could simply open up Xcode and accept the new user agreement and carry on. I plan on using Xcode in the future and have no specific objections to using it. Wondering how a developer could, hypothetically, choose to continue running git should they disagree with Xcode's new TOS.

If you find that which git returns /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin then you are dependent on xcode functionality and its associated TOS.

If you install through another mechanism, brew or via GitHub command line tools, you would not receive this prompt. You may want to make sure your other version is earlier in your path: 

$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin

  • For me, `which git` provides `/usr/bin/git`. What do you mean by "earlier in your path"? – Justin Lange Nov 19 '14 at 22:29
  • Meaning that `git` is loaded from locations in your directory path shown by `echo $PATH`. You can always prepend this directory earlier with `PATH=~/usr/bin:$PATH`. If that works at preventing the TOS, then you can add it to your `~/.bashrc` to ensure it's used after reboot. – mbb Nov 20 '14 at 02:20
