  1. Best Answer

    You can use xcode-select --install.

    An Xcode window will appear in which you must click on Instalar, after that you will have to finish the process and you will be able to use it gitagain.

  2. Angel Angel's solution is good, but it didn't work for me because I got the following error message:

    Error, the software is not available

    Basically what you're saying is that you can't find the software or it's not available through the server. In that case, what you have to do is install it manually by following these steps:

    1. Navigate to the Apple Developer Downloads page .
    2. Sign in with your Apple ID (or whatever username/password you have for Apple Developer).
    3. Download the latest Command Line Tools for Xcode dmg : enter image description here
    4. Install the dmg (follow the instructions on the screen, this may take a few minutes).
    5. Try again.

  3. For me none of the previous solutions worked, what I did was restart xcode tools

    xcode-select --reset

    Cheers
