Install Git

Check if you have git on your system with git -v:

$ git -v
git version 2.37.1 (Apple Git-137.1)

If you don't have it you will get something like:

git: command not found

Either way, simply install git with homebrew with brew install git:

$ brew install git
==> Downloading https://ghcr.io/v2/homebrew/core/git/manifests/2.46.0
###############
...

After installation is complete, open a new terminal window and check the version with git -v:

$ git -v
git version 2.46.0

If you see the same version as before, first check where git is being served from with which git. If the path is NOT /usr/local/bin/git, it means the path to the brew installed apps needs to be addded to your system $PATH.

Now you can setup your git user.
