I was not able to install any pod in my system.
Hence, I removed cocoapods from my Mac and then reinstalled it.
The process was successful but when I run the command pod init
following error shows up in the terminal:
`verify_minimum_git_version!': [!] You need at least git version 1.8.5 to use CocoaPods (Pod::Informative)
from /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-1.2.1/lib/cocoapods/command.rb:49:in `run'
from /Library/Ruby/Gems/2.0.0/gems/cocoapods-1.2.1/bin/pod:55:in `<top (required)>'
from /usr/local/bin/pod:23:in `load'
from /usr/local/bin/pod:23:in `<main>'
I also checked my Git version which was 1.8.4 but I am getting any solution to update the same.
Firstly remove the existing git in your system using commands:-
Use command "which git"
that will give u the path say "/usr/local/bin/git", then use command->$ sudo rm -rf /usr/local/bin/git
This will remove existing git from your system
Then reinstall git again
$ brew install git
It might issue a warning saying
Warning: git 2.13.2 is already installed, it's just not linked.
You can use `brew link git` to link this version.
Then run below mentioned command:-
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/share/
$ sudo chown -R $(whoami) /usr/local/lib
$ brew link --overwrite --dry-run git
It might give you error
Error: Could not symlink share/git-core/templates/description
Target /usr/local/share/git-core/templates/description
already exists. You may want to remove it:
rm '/usr/local/share/git-core/templates/description'
To force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
brew link --overwrite git
To list all files that would be deleted:
brew link --overwrite --dry-run git
Then finally run command
$ brew link --overwrite git
This is how I updated my git and pod init worked. Hope you find it helpful :)

I had a similar issue after installing a second Xcode

As a result there was no command line tools
specified in xcode-select -p
Fixed by manually choosing newer Xcode

Do as suggested below and it will fix this issue:
Xcode Preferences -> Locations -> Selected the Command Lin Tools: select Xcode 8.3 or whatever you want to select.

Step-2:
Hope it will fix your issue!!!
Run the command
$ brew install git
Then navigate to your project folder and type pod init
These steps worked for me
I came across this answer after installing latest version of XCode 9.3 -
I was trying to do a -
- Pod Update [ or --version, or any pod command ...]
- I tried to "brew install git" like in the top answer but there was all kinds of complaints about no access to Cellar, then when I added access, missing c compilers ..
The command line tools setting in Locations in Xcode Preferences showed command latest 9.3 line tools installed "correctly", but after reading the above answers I decided to install it again using -
xcode-select --install
After the download / install, pod started working again, was still having issues with brew which was a high sierra issue. fixed with -
