M1 Mac troubles

January 15, 2021

I did some operation with brew that tried updating git, and it broke things with:

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

Seems like there is a way around it using:

xcode-select --install

which will get the development packages back

Ref: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/52522565/git-is-not-working-after-macos-update-xcrun-error-invalid-active-developer-pa

The above did not solve the issue.

Had to finally do a remove of git from home-brew

brew uninstall git

You can confirm that it worked by typing

which git

which should not return you a directory containing homebrew in the path
