I have a version of Git (1.9.3) already installed on my computer at /usr/bin. This version was installed (if I remember correctly) by XCode. I would like to install 2.2.1 (the download version from http://git-scm.com). I can install it fine with the executable at /usr/local/git/bin.
The problem is that I have putting the new path at both the beginning and end of $PATH, but which git always returns /usr/bin/git and git --version remains 1.9.3. My /usr/local/git/bin section is added as expected to the beginning or end of the whole path.
I am using hub from Github with hub alias being executed, but I cannot get git to update even if I comment hub out of my .bashrc.

What's the output from
echo $PATH? – Mike Scott – 2015-02-06T08:22:48.107Forgot to add that, thanks! Edited in above, but when I try to prepend/append it to path, it shows up as expected, but the old git is used regardless of the new one being added to the beginning or the end. – RedBassett – 2015-02-06T08:28:58.290
