My 2016 MacBook Pro has been sitting around ignored of late. My primary work laptop has been an Acer Predator for the last year. With the production release of Big Sur, I decided to upgrade the OS the day of release. This weekend, I tried to upgrade HomeBrew and everything it had installed, but quickly ran into a big issue with the Command Line Tools (CLT) being out of date.
Special Edition: macOS 11.0 Big Sur Development Environment. This is a guide to help those with prior Homebrew mutliple PHP-based installations that are looking to upgrade to the new Hombrew/core PHP setup from the prior Homebrew/php keg which is now deprecated. With the deprecation of Homebrew/php tap, many of the prior formulaes we used in this guide are no longer available. Homebrew’s package index. Bottle (binary package) installation support provided for macOS releases: Intel: big sur.
Homebrew’s package index. Homebrew Formulae. Install command: brew install nmap. Port scanning utility for large networks. Bottle (binary package) installation support provided for macOS releases: Intel: big sur. Homebrew Formulae. Install command: brew install azure-cli. Also known as: az. Formula code on GitHub. Bottle (binary package) installation support provided for macOS releases: Intel: big sur catalina mojave Apple Silicon: big sur.
For those that are unfamiliar, Homebrew is “The Missing Package Manager for macOS”. Installing software that it supports is easy and it’s considered a must-have if you’re developing on macOS.
brew install <package>
Upgrading Homebrew and its packages can be done just as easily:
brew upgrade
but running this on Big Sur, with the latest version of Xcode (12.2) installed via the App Store will throw this error:
Your CLT does not support macOS 11.0
Xcode Beta
Log into Apple’s Developer Site and download the beta of Xcode, version 12.3 as of this writing. It’s an 11.5 GB ZIP file, which will take time to download. It also took at least 30 minutes to unzip on my machine and I have an SSD. Don’t just drop it into your Applicaitons folder, you’ll need to completely remove your existing install of Xcode from the app store. Take a look at this article for details. I don’t use Xcode other than for the CLT, so be careful and make backups before you start deleting things.
Once you’ve removed the version from the app store, drag the unzipped Xcode Beta into your Applications folder and run it. You’ll have to accept the license agreement to proceed. Once it’s up and running, run your Homebrew upgrade again.
Updated Command Line Tools
I immediately got the same message as before. Installing this beta was reported on multiple sites to have addressed the problem, but for me it didn’t. I forgot that there was command to specially check for issues with Homebrew:
brew doctor
Among others were these messages:
Running the softwareupdate command found nothing to install. So I followed the next pair of instructions:
Since these commands start with sudo, you’ll need to enter your user password so they’ll run. Another download began and the upgraded Command Line Tools were finally installed. If this doesn’t work for some reason, go to More Downloads for Apple Developers where you can download the DMG for “Command Line Tools for Xcode 12.3 beta” (430 MB). I’m not sure if you can run that without the main Xcode beta installed, but it’s worth a try in order to avoid the other large download. If anyone is able to run that without the main beta, please let me know.
Third Time’s the Charm
And finally,
And there was much rejoicing! And I was finally able to start writing a new blog post.
Or so I thought.
Because updated software always runs perfectly the first time.
Shyeah, right. (Jekyll, I’m looking at you.)
Homebrew and Apple Silicon
If you’re experiencing any other issues with Homebrew, check their Github account before freaking out. Not everything is currently supported on Big Sur, but they’re working on it. The other massive project in progress is supporting Apple Silicon. Take a look at macOS 11.0 Big Sur compatibility on Apple Silicon for more information.
And if you can spare something, make a donation. They deserve it.
You can install Git on macOS Big Sur, Catalina, Mojave, Sierra, or an older Mac OSX version by a couple of options, one is to use Homebrew to install Git by installing Homebrew first and then issuing:
You can also download install a easy to install package file getting the latest git version from the SourceForge .
This will download the latest version of Git to your desktop/download area as a dmg file, (it says mavericks in the file name but just ignore that)
Open the dmg file, then Control/Right Click the git.pkg file to install.
When Git is installed check in the Terminal, launch the Terminal from /Applications/Utilities and check the version:

And the version is displayed

Upgrading Git from a previous version to the latest
If you have previously installed Git you can upgrade to the latest version by uninstalling the previous install by using the uninstall.sh script…
Go through the same process of downloading and mounting the latest git .dmg.
Your previous Git configuration settings and working repositories remain intact.
Trumping Xcodes Older Git
If you have Xcode already installed and have installed command line tools then you already have Git, probably an older version which is distributed with Xcode, this is installed in a path that takes precedence at:
The Mojave version is:
To run the latest version you need to adjust your shell path so that /usr/bin/git runs after /usr/local/bin
Install Homebrew On Macos Big Sur
You need to adjustshell path , the path will be set in either .zshrc, .bashrc or .bash_profile in your home directory, more likely .zshrc in the more recent macOSes.
So add into the path similar to the below and keep what you already have in the path, each segment is separated by a colon:

Restart or reload the Terminal and the newer Git version will now be used.
