Git is a distributed version control system that is widely used for tracking source code in software projects.

Install Git using Homebrew:

Easy steps to get git running on your macOS using Homebrew, a popular package manager for macOS.

1. Open Terminal on your macOS.
2. If you don’t have Homebrew, install using:
   /bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)"
3. Once Homebrew is installed, you need to add /opt/homebrew/bin to your PATH. Run the following commands to add Homebrew to your PATH:

   (echo; echo 'eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"') >> /Users/<user_name>/.zprofile
    eval "$(/opt/homebrew/bin/brew shellenv)"
   

4. You can verify the version of Homebrew using:
   brew --version
5. Install git using:
   brew install git
6. Once git is installed, check the version using:
   git --version

Install Git using MacPorts:

Another easy step is to get git running on your macOS using MacPorts, which is an open-source initiative.

1. Open Terminal on your macOS.
2. If you don’t have MacPorts, first install command line tools using:
   xcode-select --install If command line tools are already installed, you might have to add PATH to your bash profile using:

   touch ~/.bash_profile
   export PATH="/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:$PATH"
   source ~/.bash_profile
   

3. Install git using:
   sudo port install git
4. Once git is installed, check the version using:
   git --version
