The Mac, or OS X, ships with a pre-installed version of Git. I believe
it is located in /usr/bin/git. Now if you study your $PATH variable,
you'll notice that /usr/bin comes before the path where you installed
the more recent Git 2.2.1. I may not be doing too good of a job
explaining how this works here, so please read [1] instead, or google
for more updated answers (I don't have a Mac in front of me).

You should be able to use the version of Git that came installed for
most purposes. Newer is better, of course, but Git 1.9.3 is fairly
recent.
