Use downloaded Git instead of preinstalled Git I am following the Lynda.com Git Essential Training. After he downloads and installs Git he enters which git and gets /usr/local/git/bin/git However when I do it I still get the preinstalled path /usr/bin/git

How do I change the path so I am working with my downloaded version of Git

I am using a Macbook Air - Mavericks - OS X 10.9.4 and followed the default install instructions.
Add the following to your ~/.bash_profile

export PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
