title: How can I access the 'GitHub for Mac' command-line utility from the terminal?
body: <p>I recently installed GitHub for Mac, the graphical Git client from GitHub, and also the command-line utility from its menu, shown below:</p>

  <p>I was notified the command-line utility had been installed in <code>/usr/local/github</code>, but when I checked it had actually been put in <code>/usr/local/bin/github</code> - details shown below:</p>

  <p>When I try to run <code>git</code> I get <code>-bash: git: command not found</code>, so I added <code>export PATH=/usr/local/bin:$PATH</code> to <code>~/.profile</code> thinking it would solve the issue, but it hasn't - all that seems to be different is I can now start GitHub for Mac from the terminal by typing <code>github</code>.</p>
  
  <p>Please could someone with more knowledge explain what's happening here?</p>
