I'm hoping he just made a typo--as what he said Yes, it will work without needing the git binaries he includes. If you already have git binaries (e.g., from macports) you can use those. Hence, the ones he provides are for your convenience, letting you use Gitbox without having to deal with finding and installing git yourself. -- --tzs
