UNINSTALLING GIT FROM MAC TERMINAL: STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

If you're reading this article, you're probably looking for a way to uninstall
Git from your Mac Terminal. Whether you're experiencing issues with Git or
simply want to remove it, this step-by-step guide will help you get the job
done.


LOCATING GIT

Before you can uninstall Git, you need to locate it on your system. The default
location for Git on a Mac is /usr/bin/git.


CHECKING GIT VERSION

To confirm that Git is installed and to check its version, open your Terminal
and type the following command:

git --version

If Git is installed, you should see a message displaying the version number. If
Git is not installed, you will see a message saying "command not found: git".


UNINSTALLING GIT

To uninstall Git, you can use the following steps:

 1. Close any Terminal windows that are currently open.
 2. Open a new Terminal window.
 3. Type the following command to remove the Git directory:

sudo rm -rf /usr/local/git

This command will remove the Git directory and all of its contents. If you
installed Git in a different location, replace /usr/local/git with the correct
path.

 4. Next, you need to remove the symbolic link to Git. Type the following
    command:

sudo rm /usr/bin/git

This command will remove the symbolic link to Git from the /usr/bin directory.


VERIFYING GIT REMOVAL

To verify that Git has been removed, open a new Terminal window and type the
following command:

git --version

If Git has been successfully removed, you should see a message saying "command
not found: git".

In this article, we covered the steps to uninstall Git from the Mac Terminal.
Here's a quick summary:

 1. Locate Git on your system.
 2. Check the version of Git installed.
 3. Remove the Git directory.
 4. Remove the symbolic link to Git.
 5. Verify that Git has been removed.

UNINSTALLING GIT ON MACTERMINAL CAN BE DONE THROUGH A FEW SIMPLE STEPS. IF
YOU'VE ENCOUNTERED ISSUES WHILE TRYING TO DELETE THE COMMAND, THIS GUIDE WILL
WALK YOU THROUGH THE PROCESS. FIRST, LET'S LOCATE THE GIT INSTALLATION
DIRECTORY. OPEN TERMINAL AND TYPE: `WHICH GIT` THIS COMMAND WILL RETURN THE PATH
TO THE GIT EXECUTABLE. NOTE THIS PATH, AS WE'LL NEED IT LATER. NEXT, LET'S
REMOVE THE GIT EXECUTABLE AND RELATED FILES. TYPE THE FOLLOWING COMMAND IN
TERMINAL, REPLACING '/PATH/TO/GIT' WITH THE PATH YOU NOTED EARLIER: `SUDO RM -RF
/PATH/TO/GIT` THIS COMMAND WILL DELETE THE GIT EXECUTABLE AND ASSOCIATED FILES.
BE SURE TO REPLACE '/PATH/TO/GIT' WITH THE CORRECT PATH. ONCE THE DELETION IS
COMPLETE, YOU CAN VERIFY THAT GIT HAS BEEN UNINSTALLED BY CHECKING THE OUTPUT OF
THE 'WHICH GIT' COMMAND. IF GIT IS NO LONGER RETURNED, THEN THE UNINSTALLATION
WAS SUCCESSFUL. FOR MORE INFORMATION ON MANAGING GIT INSTALLATIONS ON MAC, CHECK
