Mac M1 native installer needed

[georgehetrick]

The current installer contains an Intel-only version of git. Is a new Universal2 (i.e. Intel and ARM64) installer coming?

I am having trouble with github. The format git clone the repository, git add .; git commit -m""; git push origin main.

It sees to be giving me an issue. Any recommendations?

I also ran into this. On the downloads page I something about a universal binary which made me hopeful this would run on Apple Silicon. It did install OK on an M1 without Rosetta. But when running the git program by spelling out the full install path I get:

% /usr/local/git/bin/git        
zsh: bad CPU type in executable: /usr/local/git/bin/git

Running file on the installed file I see:

% file /usr/local/git/bin/git
/usr/local/git/bin/git: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [i386]
/usr/local/git/bin/git (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/local/git/bin/git (for architecture i386):	Mach-O executable i386
% 

Both architectures are Intel, I don't see an ARM one unfortunately. What I wanted to see is something more like:

Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64e:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e]
/usr/bin/AssetCacheLocatorUtil (for architecture x86_64):	Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
/usr/bin/AssetCacheLocatorUtil (for architecture arm64e):	Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64e

I'm trying to keep my M1 MBP pure arm64 without Rosetta. So if you need a tester for a future build please reach out.
