Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 30,885 PointsWhen I run brew install git I get several WARNING messages
This is what I get:
Warning: You seem to have osx-gcc-installer installed.
Homebrew doesn't support osx-gcc-installer. It causes many builds to fail and
is an unlicensed distribution of really old Xcode files.
Please run xcode-select --install to install the CLT.
Warning: You have an outdated version of /usr/bin/install_name_tool installed.
This will cause binary package installations to fail.
This can happen if you install osx-gcc-installer or RailsInstaller.
To restore it, you must reinstall OS X or restore the binary from
the OS packages.
I'm not sure what I should do... Thanks.

Homebrew will make sure to keep anything you need and gives you instructions to remove the extraneous programs. Brew and osx-gcc-installer don't seem to want to work together. If the instruction given by brew do not work it looks like you have to reinstall OSX which would be a pain based on this info:

Good luck.
