Is need tap action beform installing?

chriswalz commented 3 years ago

@Sirormy nope. It's part of homebrew-core. I just tested brew install bit-git and it works fine. Perhaps use the curl installation if you're having problems

@chriswalz I can confirm I'm seeing the same issue (I'm on the latest Catalina 10.15.7) with updated Homebrew:

ben-mbp-wifi :: ~/workspacex/LocalMusicPlayer ‹git master› » brew update    1 ↵
Already up-to-date.
ben-mbp-wifi :: ~/workspacex/LocalMusicPlayer ‹git master› » brew install bit-git

Edit: Weirdly, I scrolled back and bit to when I first tried the brew install bit-git command and I see that Homebrew updated and specifically added the bit-git formula, yet it doesn't seem to want to install it...

....... <snipped the rest>

Edit 2: Figured it out. I ran brew doctor and found that for some reason, my homebrew-core repo was not on the master branch:

Warning: Homebrew/homebrew-core is not on the master branch.

Check out the master branch by running:
  git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" checkout master

So I ran the suggested command, and was able to install without issue:

ben-mbp-wifi :: ~ » git -C "$(brew --repo homebrew/core)" checkout master                                                1 ↵

@Sirormy maybe try running brew doctor and see if you have the same issue?

@einsteinx2 Very interesting, thanks for the update. @Sirormy let us know if @einsteinx2's solution works

0xhiroooo commented 3 years ago

@chriswalz @einsteinx2 Thanks for answering, I found my homebrew not worked well, I just reinstalling that, and now it worked 😄
