Command Line Tools bash (git) not working - macOS Sierra final release candidate

Question

I have just upgraded from OS X 10.11 "El Capitan" to 10.12: "Sierra", and when I try to access git commands inside a terminal, I get the following error:

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path

(/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at:

/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

Please help me if anyone have solution.

Just Check for software update and install all latest updates available. It will start working, without doing anything else extra. — Sanket Prabhu, Sep 22 '16 at 05:29

Is anyone having issues with this? On mine machine the commands just fails with "Can't install the software." message. – Juto Sep 23 '16 at 14:54

I think this is now also available through the App Store / Software Update service. – Dan Laffan Sep 26 '16 at 21:27
For me, this didnt fix the issue. I got Git back by installing it from .dmg, but a bunch of other stuff is still missing. Amongst it seems to be the Clang. – MadPhysicist Oct 30 '16 at 01:41

I've just upgraded to High Sierra and the solution is still valid. – Gustavo Straube Sep 29 '17 at 11:01
I had to upgrade XCode too and then restart the Terminal. – Rickard Elimää Nov 13 '17 at 07:22

I fixed this issue by downloading and installing the 'Command Line Tools (macOS sierra) for Xcode 8' package from Apple Developer Downloads.

Be sure to select Command Line Tools (macOS 10.12) for Xcode 8 and not the one for 8.1 beta unless you have Xcode 8.1 beta installed.

I just recently upgraded to macOS High Sierra Version 10.13.3 and has existing xcode. My git command lines have the same issue. "$xcode-select --install" works perfectly for me.

Had same problem and with putting the git's path into profile directly it will not ask the xcode anymore (if you dont need to use xcode).

download the git, https://git-scm.com/download/mac and install it.
in your profile add to path, i.e. export PATH=$PATH:/usr/bin (mine git is in /usr/bin).
open new terminal.

Alone - xcode-select --install did not work for me.

Had to do all 3 steps:

Download X-code from app store (if not present in Applications folder)
$xcode-select --install
a. May need to update after install using softwareupdate in command line. $sudo softwareupdate -i "Command Line Tools (macOS High Sierra version 10.13) for Xcode-9.1"
$sudo xcodebuild -license
