Git is not working after macOS Update (xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools)

Question

I updated to macOS Mojave (this happens on Catalina update too, and seems to potentially occur on every major update thereafter)

This morning I navigated to my work's codebase in the Command Line on my MacBook pro, typed in "git status" in the repository and received the error:

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

How do I fix git, and command line tools?

to be honest, this problem is something APPLE should take care of. They create it, they should fix it !!!!! Asking everyone to run that command everytime this happens isn't an Good/Correct option. Not to mention you need to download that big chunk for git only. — windmaomao, Feb 04 '21 at 14:30
I didn’t run into it on my update to Big Sur. Only had this problem the year when I originally wrote this Q&A. I’ve just been updating it every year to include the latest changes. — dustbuster, Feb 05 '21 at 05:07
If you don't have Xcode, only installing Xcode command line tools will solve the problem. https://developer.apple.com/download/more/?=command%20line%20tools — alianjum0, Feb 08 '21 at 09:18
alianjum0, thanks for that. I just went down a huge rat hole being unable to install XCode from the AppStore (long story). Being able to install just the CLI saved the day! — Roy Smith, Mar 13 '21 at 02:02
It's a failure to completely update ALL their software during a major version update. I have not run into this since i initially made the question and answer! So it works on some level i suppose! — dustbuster, Apr 01 '21 at 13:33

The problem is that Xcode Command-line Tools needs to be updated.

Solution #1

Go back to your terminal and enter:

xcode-select --install

You'll then receive the following output:

xcode-select: note: install requested for command line developer tools

You will then be prompted in a window to update Xcode Command Line tools. (which may take a while)

Open a new terminal window and your development tools should be returned.

Addition: With any major or semi-major update you'll need to update the command line tools in order to get them functioning properly again. Check Xcode with any update. This goes beyond Mojave...

After that restart your terminal

Alternatively, IF that fails, and it very well might.... you'll get a pop-up box saying "Software not found on server", see below!

Solution #2

and you hit xcode-select --install and it doesn't find the software, log into Apple Developer, and install it via webpage.

Login or sign up here:

https://developer.apple.com/download/more/

Look for: "Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.x" in the list of downloads Then click the dmg and download.

This fixed the issue I had with Microsoft Visual Studio Code which was complaining about Git not being installed when I first launched it after upgrading to Mojave. I thought the issue was VS Code, but it was the issue in this SO question. Restarting VS Code after installing the Xcode Command-line Tools solved the issue. – Mark Oct 10 '18 at 00:36

I wish the Xcode update was part of the OS update. Something like this happens every time I upgrade. Annoying. – mvndaai Dec 14 '18 at 17:17
It's happened to me on every update. I guess the majority of Mac users don't have Xcode installed! Otherwise apple probably would update it at the same time. . – dustbuster Dec 14 '18 at 18:19

Definitely annoying though. A simple check for Xcode installation and then an update during the OS update would be pretty simple to add. It's always something with these OS updates from Apple. You'd think they'd have figured it out by now. – zgr024 Dec 14 '18 at 20:53

If you have Xcode installed, you **do not need the separate command line tools install**. Just make sure you run `xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer` or `xcode-select --reset` so Terminal will use the command line tools inside Xcode instead of the ones installed by the "command line tools" standalone installer. From then on, the App Store will auto-update Xcode and your tools will stay current. – uliwitness Feb 15 '20 at 10:50

I got some errors that the software was unavailable from the update server when trying

xcode-select --install

What fixed it for me was going here https://developer.apple.com/download/more/ and downloading Command Line Tools (macOS 10.14) for Xcode 10 and then installing it manually.

After that, the errors should be gone when you open up a new terminal.

I've just upgraded to OS X 10.15 Catalina and run the Software Update tool from preferences again after the OS upgrade completed.

After upgrade to Mac Catalina I faced the same issue, I had to run couple of commands to get this fixed.

First started with:

xcode-select --install

It didn't fix the problem, had to run the following in sudo

sudo xcode-select --reset

Then, finally got fixed after I switched and set the path explicitly for active developer directory:

sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Note: In case you have Xcode installed, you may need to specify Xcode directory in this case, it should be something like this

xcode-select -s /Applications/Xcode.app

For me It happened after Mac OS update to Mojave and git was not functioning in Intellij

Solution:- Go to Settings, then File | Settings | Version Control | Git and edit Path to Git executable field which is /usr/local/bin/git

I had the same issue and couldn't use SVN after the update,

Just in case if doing xcode-select --install didn't fix the issue,

You might see,

svn: error: The subversion command line tools are no longer provided by Xcode.

Refer : https://developer.apple.com/documentation/macos_release_notes/macos_catalina_10_15_release_notes

Try installing the svn by brew

brew install svn

This should get you going.

If you created a new Applications folder in an external drive and installed Xcode there:

sudo xcode-select --switch /Volumes/MyExternalStorageName/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer

Edge case, but still worth writing down: when migrating from and older Mac with Migration Assistant, you may have selected the option to transfer all your applications from your older Mac. Applications, like Xcode needs to be updated if it was transferred and preserved OR delete from your other user's Applications folder. This is because Xcode has not been set up properly after the first start with the new OS version.
