I'm using GIT and am trying to push my code and getting the following error when using the Terminal. I don't use XCode, I'm using Android Studio.

The command I tried using was:

git branch Networking

Error:

xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun`

I am running on El Capitan Beta 4 update if that helps in any way.

Update: This also happens for IntelliJ users, and for MacOS Catalina update

I ran into the same problem, however with svn. I found that by installing El Capitan, Xcode was "uninstalled". I reinstalled Xcode from the App Store and then reinstalled Xcode Command Line Tools via Terminal with

xcode-select --install

After installation, my /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin directory reappeared and svn started working again.
