  <p>I'm very close here -- I think I  just need to create a symbolic link, but I'm not sure how (and why this is need). I'm on OSX Lion btw.</p>
  
  <p>I've downloaded and installed git using this command. </p>
  
  <pre><code>brew install git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>the response is</p>
  
  <pre><code>git-1.7.12 already installed, it's just not linked
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I do this?</p>
  
  <p>when I run </p>
  
  <pre><code>which git
  &gt;/usr/bin/git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>when I run </p>
  
  <pre><code>git --version
  &gt;git version 1.7.4.4
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My paths are fine</p>
  
  <pre><code>export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Again -- all I really need to know is how to set up the sym link. Thanks!</p>
