git presents me with these choices:
git-1.7.6.1-i386-snow-leopard.dmg git-1.7.6.1-x86_64-snow-leopard.dmg git-1.7.6-i386-snow-leopard.dmg git-1.7.6-x86_64-snow-leopard.dmg git-1.7.5.4-i386-leopard.dmg git-1.7.5.4-x86_64-leopard.dmg git-1.7.5.3-i386-leopard.dmg
How do I know which one to download?
Guessing anyone will do just fine taking into consideration that Lion is capable of running 64bit application as well as 32 bit application. I would highly recommend installing git via package manager thou (brew - http://mxcl.github.com/homebrew/)
Is your Snow Leopard installation a 64-bit or 32-bit one? i386 refers to 32-bit and x86_64 is 64-bit.
You will most likely want to install git-1.7.6.1-i386-snow-leopard.dmg or git-1.7.6.1-x86_64-snow-leopard.dmg.

How do I know whether to download i386 or x86_64?
We can't tell without knowing what hardware you are running. If you Mac has a 64 bit processor then install the x86_64 bit version. This is most likely the case. For example: the only MacBook Pro that was not 64 bit was the very first model. That one had a Core Duo processor as opposed to the Core 2 Duo. All currently shipping Macs (AFAIK) are 64-bit.

Oh! I also forgot to mention that there are other ways to install git on the Mac. If you installed Xcode 4 in order to get the C compilers then it installs a fairly recent version of git. So you may already have git installed.
Git can also be installed via Homebrew, macport (yuck), or possibly by other means.
Yeah, I would recommend using Homebrew to install Git. It was super easy for me.
brew install git
I didn't need to choose which version to download because it figured that out for me. Once you start using Homebrew, you'll want to start using it to install everything. =]

Xcode 4 isn't free, so I downloaded Xcode 3.2.6, and apparently it doesn't install git.

Actually Xcode 4 is free, since the Lion release.

I wonder why you would be seeing a price. I just looked in the Mac App Store, Xcode 4.1.1 is listed there as "free". I'm not a $99 paid-up developer, just a member of the free program, I wonder if that has anything to do with it. Could someone else check, someone who doesn't already have 4.x installed?

Does xcode 4 work on osx 10.6.8? If so, where can I download it?
Here:
it says:
Here:
Xcode - Support - Apple Developer
it says:
maybe out of date?
=== Paid members of the Mac and iOS Developer Programs have access to the latest Xcode developer tools, SDKs, and pre-release software. Program members can download Xcode 4.
Xcode 4.1 for Lion is available as a free download from the Mac App Store. If you are registered as an Apple Developer, you can download Xcode 3 for free. Both Xcode 3 and Xcode 4 include the most recent SDKs for both Mac OS X and iOS.
I am running Xcode 4.1 on Mac OS X 10.6.8 as we speak. I don't recall paying for it. (I may have done, but if I did, it was a trivial amount.) I am not a $99 member of any Apple development program.

You must be an iOS or Mac Developer Program member to download Xcode 4 or you can download Xcode 4.1 for Lion for free from the Mac App Store.
Yep. That's why I mentioned the other options. I'd use Homebrew myself if I didn't already use Xcode 4.1 on Lion for my iOS development. Also, if you're one that likes to run the cutting-edge newest version of Git then you may want to use Homebrew. That will almost certainly be kept somewhat more up-to-date than the version of Git provided by Xcode, which is currently 1.7.3.4.
its a apple pie dude
http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/list?can=3
and choose a version of Mac OS
after just test using into terminal

Well...that's the problem.

Anyway, can someone confirm what git I am supposed to install?
I would bet it's the x64 version. Try it -- if it doesn't work, it'll let you know and you can delete it.
Alternatively, look at `About This Mac` -> Software -> Applications and see if you have any that say something like
Dashboard:
Version: 1.7 Last Modified: 6/24/11 5:34 PM Kind: Universal 64-Bit (Intel): Yes
If so, I would think it's probably a good sign you have 64-bit HW 
I downloaded:
git-1.7.6.1-x86_64-snow-leopard.dmg
and went through the install wizard, but the command:
$ git --version
returned:
git command not found
But after I Quit Terminal, and reopened Terminal, I got:
$ git --version git version 1.7.6.1
Thanks.
