Did this, and also tried Ciarán’s suggestions in your comments (as well as similar ones mentioned on Ciarán’s site)

No joy whatsoever. The *really* annoying thing is that I already have this working on my laptop – the only difference between the 2 systems is that git is living in /usr/local/bin on the laptop, whereas on the iMac, the /usr/local/bin directory didn’t even exist, I had to create it, then symlink. That seems….wrong to me somehow….

Yes, that did it.

Thanks!

I think should be like this

cd /usr/local
sudo mkdir -p git/bin/git
sudo ln -s /usr/local/bin/git /usr/local/git/bin/git

it worked…

I’ll second the Git bundle as being really, really useful. Definitely worth checking out.

To install a .tmplugin file you should just double-click it (TextMate will automatically create the folder if necessary and then move the plug-in there, and it will prompt you to restart TextMate).

As for setting up your path: what you should do is go into TextMate’s preferences and then switch to the Advanced section and choose the Shell Variables tab. Then make a new variable called TM_GIT, and set it to the path to your git executable.

This way you don’t have to mess about with symlinks, and it will also work with the Git bundle (http://gitorious.org/projects/git-tmbundle).
