I'm following Luke Jones' article on setting up a local server, and I'm currently trying to set up homebrew with git on Mavericks. I already had git installed before installing homebrew. I'm having an issue that seemed similar to this question but when I tried running brew link git I received the following error:
Error: Could not symlink file: /usr/local/Cellar/git/1.8.5.1/share/git-core/templates/info/exclude
Target /usr/local/share/git-core/templates/info/exclude already exists. You may need to delete it.
To force the link and overwrite all other conflicting files, do:
brew link --overwrite formula_name
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run formula_name
My /etc/paths:
/usr/local/bin
/usr/bin
/bin
/usr/sbin
/sbin
which git returns /usr/bin/git
which brew returns /usr/local/bin/brew
Not sure what the issue is, as I'm still not great at finding my way around things like this. Anyone know next steps to take?
