I just bought a new Mac with OS X Lion and I checked in the Terminal what version of git is installed by default. I got the answer
git --version
> git version 1.7.5.4
I would like to upgrade git to the latest version 1.7.8.3, so I downloaded the dmg installer “git-1.7.8.3-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg” and I launched it.
After the install, the Terminal still says that the version is 1.7.5.4. What am I doing wrong?
