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
