Where do you come from? Where do you go? What is your scene, baby? We just gotta know.

Try /usr/local/bin/git

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

The equivalent of that on my server is

/hsphere/local/home/wobbly/bin/git
and that DID work!

Now what?

You need to edit your .profile and add /usr/local/bin to your PATH.

Where would the .profile be? It's not in my home directory.

Create a .profile in your home directory containing the line

PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin

It's still not working. :(

I've got to run, but thanks for all your help so far, Tom!

Turns out I needed to log out and log back in for the path addition in .profile to kick in.

Thanks, Tom!

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
