Download and install: git-osx-installer

via MacPorts

Install MacPorts if you haven’t already done so.
Make sure your ports are up to date.


$ sudo port selfupdate
MacPorts base version 1.600 installed
Downloaded MacPorts base version 1.600
The MacPorts installation is not outdated and so was not updated
selfupdate done!
