Eclipse EGit for PPC
* Mac OS X (intel) Download git from here http://git-scm.com/download/mac.
* Mac OS X (PPC) Although the git download above is called 'git-1.8.4.2-intel-universal-snow-leopard.dmg', implying that this is a universal binary, in fact only the installer is universal, the binary to be installed in actually intel only. On a PPC you will need to build git manually. Follow the instructions here: http://jnorthr.wordpress.com/2013/03/29/building-a-git-client-1-8-2-on-apple-imac-ppc-osx-10-5-8/. I think you will also need some additional tools like 'msgfmt'. I don't think this is installed by the Apple development tool Xcode, but fortunately I have it either via fink which I installed some time ago, or via MacPorts which I installed more recently.
: Mac OS X (PPC) Eclipse. If you are using Eclipse on a PPC, then there may be missing components for installing the latest version of EGit, depending on your version of Eclipse. If you have the Helios version of Eclipse, then you will not be able to install the latest EGit because you will get ''requires 'org.eclipse.team.core 3.6.100' but it could not be found''. Installing EGit version 2.0 from http://download.eclipse.org/egit/updates-2.0 should work if you uncheck the EGit Import Support feature when selecting what to install. You will obviously lose the Import Support feature. See [http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15281273/dependency-fail-installing-egit-on-eclipse-indigo here].
