Git Segmentation fault: 11

I had to reinstall OS X Lion on my Macbook Pro, and upon trying to use git I got an error stating Segmentation fault: 11. No matter what git command I try I get that error. I'm just doing this through the Mac terminal. No fancy programs or anything external.

I uninstalled git and just to make sure it was uninstalled I typed git init and it gave me a command not found message.

I reinstalled git and I'm still getting the segmentation fault message. I get the message regardless of what directory I'm in and what command I use.

I had the same problem, I was using (2.12.2) on Windows 7(x64), I downgraded it to (2.12.1) and now everything is working fine.

Try setting an email address in your git config if you haven't done so already - traced errors and that's what fixed it for me.

git config --global user.email "[email protected]"

Working with a Mac OS X Version 10.7.5 (Lion)

Uninstalling Git latest version (2.2.0) and reinstalling Git version 1.8.4.2 worked for me. Here is the download link for git 1.8.4.2

It says snow-leopard but actually works for Lion here is the page with all git-osx-installer

I got it to work by uninstalling it again and installing 1.8.1 instead of 1.9.2. I guess OS X Lion doesn't like the latest release.
