Did no one here get utterly destroyed when updating to Ventura deleted your git, requiring you to either:

1. install xcode, which requires apple id, which your company might not support

Or

2. Side load git, which your company's security policy might prohibit?

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.

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

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

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.

Just install git with Homebrew.
