Seems my git was removed upon update, and cant seem to reinstall it 

"-bash: git: command not found"

MAC OS 10.7.0

Does /usr/local exist?  Does /usr/local/git exist?  It's probably a PATH 
issue... I don't know why you'd be experiencing it though since OS X Lion still 
supports /etc/paths.d, which is what the git installer uses to inject itself 
into the path.

Hmm you was correct, i have a binary located here /usr/local/git/bin/git and my 
/etc/paths.d/git contains /usr/local/git/bin which once i changed to 
/usr/local/git/bin/ it worked..

Hmm thats strange. I just did a clean install of lion, no time machine restore, 
 and it works ok, not requiring the trailing slash change... hmm

I did an upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8 and had the same problem as 
gavshous...@gmail.com
Entering an / in the /etc/paths.d/git file did the trick for me too!

Strange... do you have other paths there?  Xcode 4.1 put the following in my 
/etc/paths:

{{{
  timcharper@TimTheEnchanter:~ $ cat /etc/paths.d/50-X11 
  /usr/X11/bin
}}}

No trailing slash.  This is really weird

Type `which git`... what do you get?

I get:

  timcharper@TimTheEnchanter:~ $ which git
  /usr/local/git/bin//git

In my etc/paths.d are 2 files:

50-X11 with the same line as you in it:
/usr/X11/bin (no trailing slash)

and

git with this line in it:
/usr/local/git/bin

then it said: git not found

I added the trailing slash:
/usr/local/git/bin/

working as before on Snow Leo....

$ which git

$ cat /etc/paths.d/*

/usr/local/git/bin/

reply to gavshous...@gmail.com:
I never had an Github application installed, only my Github account setup using 
the regular git commands.

@gavshouse90 if you get /usr/bin/git... you're using the Xcode provided git.  
You'll have to edit /etc/paths and put /usr/local/git/bin at the top.

I don't think there's a way to precede the paths specified in /etc/paths with 
/etc/paths.d... not sure best how to deal with this.  One thing I thought of 
was to start installing in /usr/bin, over-writing the version Xcode installs.

@timchar...@gmail.com Yeah i have just installed XCode this morning, i will 
swap them around.

@timchar...@gmail.com Thank you for your answer .. I was beating my head 
editing all my .profile files and it was still using the xcode installed 
version. Simply making the change to /etc/paths was the answer

Just thought I'd chime in and let others know I ran into this as well. Clean 
install of Lion + Xcode + GitHub (if that makes a difference) + git installer 
1.7.7. git works just fine, but it defaults to Xcode version (1.7.4.4) in 
/usr/bin/git unless I change it in /etc/paths.

Wow, trailing / worked for me too...nice catch!

Can anyone explain why adding the trailing slash works?
