After updating to latest Xcode (14, 14A309) the git command line has stopped working. A dialog appears saying command line tools needs to be installed. Doing so, by clicking Install, doesn't solve anything. In Terminal I get a backtrace, see attached. I'm on a Macbook 2017. What is the fix?
MacBook, macOS 12.5
The minimum supported operating system for Xcode 14 is macOS 12.5. With macOS 12.6 and Xcode 14 installed, you may be able to update the Command Line tools like so from the Terminal:
softwareupdate -l
software update -i "Command Line Tools for Xcode-14.0"
and this installs git v2.37.0.

Pieces appear missing.
I’d update to macOS 12.6 with its restart, would remove and re-install Xcode 14 and launch it once, would restart the Mac again after the Xcode install, and would then (try to) install the command line tools again.
Failing the above, log a radar with the Apple Developer folks.
I’ve just downloaded Xcode 14, and have already updated to 12.6, and will be having a look at this Real Soon Now.
Hilarious. I installed those 20 GB of SDKs, and Git/Xcode-build started working.
Great stuff. Apple goes "This Git thing is really nice, it's simplistic and got a beautiful design philosophy." Then proceeds with heaps of completely unnecessary dependencies.
Please look the other way.
Install the packages and see what happens, as that's a typical configuration for using Xcode, and as the reported git traceback seems to involve missing simulator files, and the files you're now asking about installing are used for, well, simulation.
I:
Still I get the backtrace as reported.
Running 'sudo sysdiagnose Xcode' gives:
Press 'Enter' to continue. Ctrl+\ to cancel.
sysdiagnose error: Invalid target Process/pid specified
If I launch Xcode it asks me to install iOS and macOS packages. Do I need to install those to have Git functioning? All was fine before the update. Nothing is right about a backtrace though.
Log a radar against Xcode.
Xcode bugs aside, I doubt any that’s actually ever looked at git would call it simple, consistent, or anything other that the mess that it is. It’s a spectacular prototype, but one that never should have gone into production without a UI refactor, and more general work.
Perhaps you should review your setup and configuration. Whatever was broken before could still be broken and cause problems in the future.
And maybe wait a few days before applying updates. If you are the first, and you have problems, other people won't be able to help. I finally go around to updating to macOS 12.6 and Xcode 14. I experienced no problem with git.

I'm unaware of Apple, or anyone else for that matter, including Git's developer Linus Torvalds, ever saying that about Git.

Same post-update behavior here, too. But I do have the simulators installed, as I use them.

obligatory xkcd:
And rollover:
I agree. Although there are principles and technologies in Git that are good, someone should take those and do a renovation. Perhaps, perhaps Apple would do a good job at the interface/usability part, the part that needs renovation most. It's a funny world when the best revisioning system out there is Git.
Aha, wasn't thinking of GUIs, haven't tried any, really. I was more thinking of the conceptualisation, the porcelain/plumbing, general approach of using Git. The underlying ideas and techs are right, the problem is that the way they're presented leads to things like seen in the XKCDs.

I doubt that will happen. The conditions that led to the development of things like Linux and Git are different now.

That definitely won’t happen. Apple has always struggled with source control systems in Xcode, since before Git even existed. They don’t seem to understand some of the most basic concepts. I regularly have to use the command line version because Xcode gets completely confused.
True dat.
True dat.
XCode 14: git broken
