Question for Mac users. Apple installs git with its command line tools and is currently at version 2.32. Is it wise to install git via Homebrew so that you can upgrade faster? Or are there some benefits from apple-git?

I've always used homebrew for git.

No benefits that I’m aware of. I prefer having the latest greatest, so I’ve always used the homebrew tap.

I use the macports version. As far as I am aware, there are no advantages to using the Apple version.

I’m not aware of any benefit to using the system git, as a user.
