XCode 14: git broken

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?

xcode cli does not install to /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools On a newly formatted system with Ventura 13.5.1. When I run xcode-select --install everything looks fine and it goes through the install process without any errors. However, after install there is nothing in /Library/Developer, in fact, there isn't a Developer folder. No idea where it installs to. I tried install it by downloading the .dmg file from Apple and same results. When I go into software update, it does have an update for CLI but again, after installing, still nothing in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and the update is still there. I'm not sure where to find where the cli was installed to? This is also causing Homebrew install to fail b/c it wants the cli in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools and it fails when it tries to switch to that dir. I also tried installing Xcode itself, that got me the tools like git but again, Homebrew install fails b/c there's still nothing in /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools. Any suggestions?

git output in Terminal weird When I run "git show" the output has started to look weird. Now here is the weird thing: I log in with ssh on another machine and do the same and the output there is fine: The following might be of importance (though I am not certain): I just removed and reinstalled the command line tools for Xcode because I had this problem: 2022-07-31 10:21:36.210 xcodebuild[1455:2480904] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionSentinelHostApplications for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionHosts.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore 2022-07-31 10:21:36.210 xcodebuild[1455:2480904] Requested but did not find extension point with identifier Xcode.IDEKit.ExtensionPointIdentifierToBundleIdentifier for extension Xcode.DebuggerFoundation.AppExtensionToBundleIdentifierMap.watchOS of plug-in com.apple.dt.IDEWatchSupportCore These error messages appear when using several commands and they come with a timeout of sorts. So I ran sudo rm -rf /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools sudo xcode-select --install Back to that output. It seems Terminal works fine. But output on my system where I reinstalled the command line tools isn't. What might be going on here?

Why has Apple removed the direct download link for XCode command line tools? We used to be able to do a direct download of the DMG for xcode command line tools from the Apple website at https://developer.apple.com/download/all/?q=Command%20Line%20Tools%20for%20Xcode%2014 However, this no longer works. There's even a link saying more downloads, but this only takes you back to the OS section of the Downloads page. I don't want to download all of XCode because it's several GB and I'm on a metered internet connection. If I try to download the command line tools from the terminal using `xcode-select --install`, it opens a pop-up, but this has been stuck at "67 hours, 29 minutes remaining" for several hours now: I just recently upgraded to macOS Ventura, and now I cannot work anymore because all my software development tools require xcode's command line tools! Please help! Bring back the direct download, as that used to always be much faster...

The git interface has been done via Sublime Merge, and other UI tools. Apple is unlikely to reinvent the wheel for git visual clients.
