mwatts272 / install-bash

Created November 2, 2013 00:23

Upgrading the rather risqué bash on Mac OS X. Please Note: Homebrew installs things to /usr/local/Cellar/, then symlinks any binaries to /usr/local/bin, so you've now got the latest bash sitting at /usr/local/bin/bash, just so you know.

	# Install Homebrew.
	ruby -e "$(curl -fsSkL raw.github.com/mxcl/homebrew/go)"

	# Update Homebrew's formulae.
	brew update

	# Install GIT using homebrew
	brew install git
