git-sim not recognized as command in M1 Apple

[IsTheMartin]

Hey all 🖖

I installed this git-sim in my m1 apple silicon by follwing this guide, however when I tried to execute git-sim in my terminal, that command does not exist command not found: git-sim

should I add it manually in .zprofile? or do I need to do something else?

Also, I read this other issue, but it is focused to windows os

• git-sim is not recognized as an internal or external command #37

Thanks in advance

Hi @IsTheMartin !

Ahh, it might be related to using the Mac system python. If you look at the github Git-Sim page, specifically the "Quickstart" section (https://github.com/initialcommit-com/git-sim?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart), you'll see it mentions a note for MacOS users:

Note: For MacOS, it is recommended to NOT use the system Python to install Git-Sim, and instead use Homebrew to install a version of Python to work with Git-Sim. Virtual environments should work too.

Please give this a try if you were previously trying to use the Mac system python to install and use Git-Sim. (I'd recommend uninstalling git-sim from the system python / pip in the process).

Let me know if that works for you!

Hey there and happy new year.

Were you able to get this working?

Hey @initialcommit-io thank you, happy new year!

Yes, I was able to fix it by uninstalling python and installing again (by brew).

Thank you for your help 🚀
