Run `xcode-select —-install` on your terminal. It’ll install the Xcode command line tools only, no apple account required. I’ve used multiple macs at work and never sign in with an Apple ID on them.

Aha, thanks!

I doubt that many people here would stick with companies who had both of those policies.

99% of the time it's not a problem, but yes, I am leaving the company for other reasons

That sounds unpleasant. Hasn't been a problem for me, however, my work laptop is managed 100% through our corporate IT folks, including the Apple OS updates and packages. I've never needed a personal Apple ID to get Xcode.

Sounds like a crappy company.

The root cause is the apple update deleting git. I mean wtf

I'm curious about that. Git has been part of xcode CLI tools for years, I can't recall the last time it came by default with the OS.

Same as every major release? Accept the xcode bojo and continue?

Just install git with Homebrew.
