@ZaidPathan its a nice link and i have installed homebrew and installed git but its not linking. its giving me this error Error: Could not symlink bin/git Target /usr/local/bin/git already exists. You may want to remove it: rm '/usr/local/bin/git' To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files: brew link --overwrite git To list all files that would be deleted: brew link --overwrite --dry-run git — Usama bin Attique, Feb 02 '17 at 08:04
and i have tried to remove it and overwrite it as well but it wont link, it says Error: Could not symlink share/git-core/contrib /usr/local/share/git-core is not writable. — Usama bin Attique, Feb 02 '17 at 08:05

I encounter the same problem and solve it by using the following command:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app

As the error message in terminal shows, something with my git goes wrong. And, it has to do with the command line tool.

I was having an issue while trying to install packages using cocoapods. I have tried "sudo xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app" still getting wrong path error

To fix this

I opened Xcode.

Preferences
Locations
Selected the Command Lin Tools: Xcode 9.0

Now when installing packages with cocoapods I no longer get errors.

Thank you for the notice, I had renamed my main Xcode for test purposes to `Xcode8.3` and bumped into that issue. Solved by reverting the name. – DevAndArtist Apr 02 '17 at 16:42

You need to set command line tool version, in Xcode:

You can download latest command line tool from Apple Download Portal, if you have paid apple developer account/id.

Here are current beta and stable Xcode Tool and supporting command line tool download link. (Ensure you'are logged in using premium developer account on Apple Developer Account to access these links)

Xcode 11

Xcode 11.2 beta 2
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 11.2 beta 2) - for macOS 10.14)

Xcode 11
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 11) - for macOS 10.14)

Xcode 10

Xcode 10.2.1
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10.2.1) - for macOS 10.14)

Xcode 10.2
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10.2) - for macOS 10.14)

Xcode 10.1
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10.1) - for macOS 10.14)
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10.1) - for macOS 10.13)

Xcode 10
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10) - for macOS 10.14)
- (Command Line Tool (Xcode 10) - for macOS 10.13)

Once you've latest command line tool installed in your system, set it from Xcode Menu.

If you have upgraded your MAC from the App Store, then you need to run: xcode-select --install

When I ran git --version before running the command above, it didn't find git at all. It displayed this error: missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun. So, I'm guessing when I upgraded my machine somehow I lost git. Regardless, running the above command worked.

I then ran git --version and it showed the git version that was installed.

Sometimes its version issue.

Installing CoacoaPods 1.7.5 did the trick.

sudo gem uninstall cocoapods
sudo gem install cocoapods -v 1.7.5
pod setup
