title: brew doctor Warning: How to add git to PATH?
body: <p>I installed Homebrew on OS X El Capitan. In the last steps of the installation I was supposed to install git with </p>
  
  <pre><code>brew install git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>which was fine. Now if I run 'brew doctor' this happens:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ brew doctor
  Please note that these warnings are just used to help the Homebrew maintainers
  with debugging if you file an issue. If everything you use Homebrew for is
  working fine: please don't worry and just ignore them. Thanks!
  
  Warning: Git could not be found in your PATH.
  Homebrew uses Git for several internal functions, and some formulae use Git
  checkouts instead of stable tarballs. You may want to install Git:
    brew install git
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>If I run 'brew install git' again, I get:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ brew install git 
  Warning: git-2.7.4 already installed
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So needless to say my git version is 2.7.4. 'brew update' throws:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ brew update
  Warning: git-2.7.4 already installed
  Error: Git must be installed and in your PATH!
  </code></pre>
  
  <p><strong>Question:</strong> How do I fix my PATH so git can be found in my PATH and 'brew doctor' results in 'Your system is ready to brew'?</p>
  
  <hr>
  
  <p>Additional Information:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li><p>which -a git results in:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ which -a git
  /usr/local/bin/git
  /usr/local/bin/git
  /usr/bin/git
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>I tried a lot of potential fixes, meanwhile I executed:</p>
  
  <pre><code>echo 'export PATH="/usr/local/bin:$PATH"' &gt;&gt; ~/.bash_profile
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>My ~/.bash_profile now looks like this: </p>
  
  <pre><code># Setting PATH for Python 2.7
  # The orginal version is saved in .bash_profile.pysave
  PATH="/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.7/bin:${PATH}"
  export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>When I try to install cask:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ brew tap caskroom/cask
  ==&gt; Installing git
  Warning: git-2.7.4 already installed
  Error: Git is unavailable
  </code></pre></li>
  <li><p>brew config:</p>
  
  <pre><code>$ brew config
