TO INSTALL AND CLONE A GIT REPO
Download Git from http://git-scm.com/downloads
Go to Terminal and type
$ git --version
There are times that you'll be asked to install the dev tools for command line, so just proceed with it.
Clone Remote Git Repo
git clone -b
$ git clone -b my-branch git@github.com:user/myproject.git
TO INSTALL MAVEN
Download latest maven: http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi
Follow the instructions under Unix-based OS (Linux, Solaris, and Mac OSX)
If you want to go to /usr/local then you have to move the extracted maven folder using the terminal.
Below are sample lines in moving the file
$ sudo mv -f /Users//apache-maven-3.2.5 /usr/local/
**replace to your actual user name, only if that's the location where you've extracted your maven; if not then just type the path to that location
**I need to use sudo for the system to allow me to move the file to /usr/local
Now I need to add apache maven bin to the paths.
If I type "echo $PATH" the maven is still not included.
I've edited PATH by
$ sudo nano /etc/paths
While editing the paths you'll find symbols like this ^X below, together with other options. This means Control+X (not Control+Shift+X).
And for detailed explanation of java_home in mac, I find this website from apple developer really helpful, Apple Developer Q&A Java_Home.
Once you've saved your paths, you should test if maven is properly installed by typing
$ mvn --version
if it does not work, try closing all your terminals and running it again. Then it should work, especially if maven path is showing already in PATH. Use "$ echo $PATH" to show all listed paths.
