Answer 1

I had updated Xcode last night. I ran git as root via sudo in the terminal and then it said I have not agreed to the Xcode licence terms, and allowed me to view them and then agree in the terminal. I probably would have got the GUI version if I tried to open Xcode.

Answer 2

You should run sudo git --version on your command line. It will ask you to agree to the git xcode license agreement, once done everything will work as before.

Answer 3

Just run "/usr/local/bin/git" on terminal.

Answer 4

I tried "/usr/local/bin/git" path and clicked "Test" button but was getting error.

so I clicked on three dots besides Test button and jumped to the given path but there was no git executable present. So at below path I found git exec:

/usr/local/git/bin/git

I hope it helps.

In my situation I used "which git" in terminal. It will provide me my git location like "/usr/local/bin/git" instead of "/usr/bin/git" I pasted this location in popup which came after clicking "Fix it". Then clicked apply and it works.
