I had the same issue after upgrading to Big Sur. I fixed this issue by running the following command:

sudo xcode-select -switch /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

P.S. I did not need to run this command: xcode-select --install

None of the above solutions fixed the issue for me, I had to actually just restart my computer which fixed it. This was a weird bug.

For me, I had to uninstall and reinstall all my brew applications, as documented here.

i.e.

brew list -1 > brew.txt # list out all installed packages
brew list -1 | xargs brew rm --force # remove all installed packages
brew install $(cat brew.txt | tr '\n' ' ') # install all previously installed packages

This happened to me also with upgrading to High Sierra and XCode to 9. This sequence has fixed it.

xcode-select --install
sudo xcode-select -s /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools

Found this answer on https://davidwalsh.name/fix-git-high-sierra-upgrade (article and comments.)

I had this same problem -- I exited my bash session (closed the terminal) and started a new one and it fixed it.

The best solution will be to download and install it - even that you assume it is already installed: https://git-scm.com/download/mac
