Mac is a nice computer for developing, MacOS and Apple can make your developer life a challange. After updating XCode - after all, why have a Mac when you do not develop iOS apps - it may happen that git stops working.

Running git gives you:

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

Usual situation: it worked yesterday, today it is broken and you did nothing. Besides updating XCode. The problem occurs easily. When you update XCode, normally you also update the command line tools.

🔗

In case the Apple App Store isn’t giving you the option to update the command line tools, run the command

xcode-select —install

Output

xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools

This should either install the command line tools and give you back a working git tool, or let you install the tools manually via the App Store.

After this, git should be working again. Happy coding.
