Why does zsh kills my process every time I enter a git command

I'm trying to set up git on my apple M1 macbook air. I tried to run git and I saw that I needed to update my command-line-tools first and so did I. But now, every time I tried to enter a git command, I see the same line again and again: zsh: killed git.

For example, when I type git the terminal tells me: zsh: killed git, when I type git --version the terminal tells me: zsh: killed git --version and so on. Does someone knows where the problem comes from and how to solve it?

Thanks for reading and trying to find an answer.

Here I put the final solution. I tried many methods on my mac M1, the best method is re-install homebrew.

Step1:

/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/master/uninstall.sh)"

Step2: Install homebrew

cd /opt 
mkdir homebrew # if not exist, just create one.
curl -L https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/tarball/master | tar xz --strip 1 -C homebrew

Then, the problem solved.

I used the below commands:

brew uninstall git
brew update
brew reinstall pcre2 gettext
brew install git

Git worked after.

To find out the cause of the crash, you can open Console with āŒ˜ + spacebar, then go to "Crash Reports".

If you scroll down a bit, you will find the source of the error:

Application Specific Information:
dyld: launch, loading dependent libraries
/opt/homebrew/opt/gettext/lib/libintl.8.dylib

So in this example, a simple brew reinstall gettext will fix the issue (unless there is also an issue in another dependency of course).

To fix all dependencies issues in a single step, you could also simply do brew reinstall $(brew deps git).

I have an M1 with macOS Big Sur so I had to install the dev tools xcode-select first because reinstalling gettext or pcre2 wasn't running either.

Did it in this order:

xcode-select --install
brew reinstall gettext
brew reinstall pcre2
brew reinstall git

Sheeeeesh!

I faced the same issue, I have a MacBook Pro M1 and I run the next commands:

brew reinstall gettex
brew reinstall pcre2
brew reinstall git

TL;DR

brew reinstall $(brew deps git) git

or if it happens to some other software than git, replace with whatever is affected:

brew reinstall $(brew deps ffmpeg) ffmpeg

Why?

It seems to occur after some important macOS update (it happened to me after the 12.2.1 update on Monterey). Some dependency was broken in the process.

Reinstalling only git is not enough. Reinstalling a specific dependency (gettext or pcre2) might work; all of them will. But if this happens to you with some other software, it might have many more deps: e.g., ffmpeg has 96. Automatically reinstalling all dependencies before reinstalling the sofware itself is the solution.

No need for the nuclear option of removing Homebrew and all its packages.

I was getting this error after installing rbenv and changing the ruby version I was using. Whenever I'd run bundle exec fastlane , zsh would immediately kill the process.

I fixed it by deleting the Gemfile.lock file and then running bundle install.

Before you reinstall anything, try re-cloning the repo.

I had this problem in only one repo and none of the other solutions here worked but re-cloning it fixed it for me.
