  • The error message includes a suggestion to update via Apple (menu) > App Store…. What do you see in App Store.app under the Updates tab?

  • What does /usr/bin/xcode-select -print-path show? I've deleted my answer since you don't need any software updates and you might only need to run sudo /usr/bin/xcode-select -r if you don't get the correct directory listing from the print path command. From what I can tell,your script can't find a git binary and is asking for the developer tools to be installed yet you already have them installed.

  • Have you opened an issue with homebrew themselves? Maybe someone there has seen this before.

From your output, it looks like the developer tools version of git is missing. You could uninstall Xcode (delete it) and try again a manual install of just the tools homebrew needs.

I prefer to install the command line tools as follows:

  • Have an admin user/password handy - you don't need to be logged in as an admin - just know the password
  • /usr/bin/xcode-select --install

That should either error if you have Xcode already installed or command line tools. If you don't have the necessary tools - it will download and ask for installation.

Please note - the Mac App store is having issues right now - you might be doing everything right and need to wait for the server issues to get sorted:

To get past the check you are running into, the command below needs to return a good match that git is Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64:

file $(/usr/bin/xcode-select -print-path)/usr/bin/git
