Aw: Re: Homebrew and Git

["Jonas Thiel" <jonas.lierschied@gmx.de>]

Hi Heiko,

thanks for your reply on my issue. 

Here are the following outputs you asked for:

git version
git version 2.7.4 (Apple Git-66)

hostname -f
0x6A6E73

whoami
jns

I have tried the Homebrew version of git, but no change in case of the issue.

I just customized my system with the Mathias Bynens dotfiles (https://github.com/mathiasbynens/dotfiles) as well as with drduhs OS X Security Guide (https://github.com/drduh/OS-X-Security-and-Privacy-Guide). Because I reinstall my Mac on a regularly basis, wherefore I can say that one year ago these tweaks have not caused any issue.

Thanks a lot. I really appreciate your help.

Cheers,
Jonas
