    chmod: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer/usr/bin/git: No such file or directory

I don't have Xcode installed, do I have to install it back to do this?

If you do not have Xcode installed but do have the Command Line Tools, you will find the vulnerable git /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git

so the command would be:

  sudo chmod -x /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/git

If you don't have Xcode installed then you don't have git.

IIRC, you might have a /usr/bin/git executable but that's not actually git, all it does is shows a GUI that prompts you to install XCode

Thanks.

Yea, /usr/bin/git is still there:

    $ git --version
    $ git version 2.6.4 (Apple Git-63)

But glad to know it won't do anything.

Try:

    % xcrun --find git

No, vulnerable git ships with Xcode.
