Issues installing Git under Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks)

I've just completed a fresh install of Mavericks. Then I went to git-scm.com and downloaded the Mac installer and installed Git from that.

Now whenever I go into the terminal and type git I get this:

xcode-select: note: no developer tools were found at '/Applications/Xcode.app', 
requesting install. Choose an option in the dialog to download the command line 
developer tools.

I also this dialog:

The git installer installed git into /usr/local/git/bin and I've added this to my PATH but still no dice.

What am I doing wrong here? I don't want to install xcode just so I can use git.

Just download the original git package. The installer will install git under /usr/local/git (you need to deactivate security options to run the installer).

There is a preinstalled git wrapper in /usr/bin used by Xcode which does not work without installing Xcode. You need to run /usr/local/git/bin/git explicit or change the PATH variable to contain /usr/local/git/bin before /usr/bin!

Create/edit your ~/.profile with the following:

PATH=/usr/local/git/bin:$PATH
export PATH

For Mac OS X 10.10 (Yosemite) add:

/usr/local/git/bin

As the first line to /etc/paths and remove /etc/paths.d/git file to avoid duplication. This will affect all users.
