I recently compiled and installed Git on a new install of Mac OS 10.6 but it didn't install the documentation.
I now realize I should've used the precompiled package offered here: http://code.google.com/p/git-osx-installer/downloads/list
How do I remove all the files that I added to my system using make install
with the Git source code?
Edit: I've had similar problems in the past with other packages, too. For example, ./configure
with the incorrect --prefix=
or something. What's the general practice for removing unix packages?
