## macOS asks me whether I want to install "XCode Commandline tools" when I start Zettlr
1212

13-
Zettlr offers some basic `git` functionality, and for that must check whether `git` is installed on the computer. While on Windows and Linux, this is a simple check during startup, macOS will notice that Zettlr is interested in the command and, if `git` is not yet installed, offer the installation of the "XCode commandline tools" that, among other things, includes `git`. There is no way for us to reliably suppress this message, so you'll either need to decline everytime you open Zettlr, or simply install the command line tools. Installing the commandline tools is a safe procedure and you won't notice that they are installed. They could potentially even bring benefits. See [this Apple discussion thread on what the commandline tools are](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/13781). See also the [related issue on GitHub](https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/issues/4709).

Zettlr integrates with Git by detecting repositories on your system and displaying relevant information within directory properties. Upon startup, Zettlr confirms the installation of `git` on Windows and Linux systems through a straightforward check. On macOS, if `git` is absent, the system prompts the installation of "XCode commandline tools," which includes `git`. Unfortunately, this prompt cannot be reliably suppressed. Users must either repeatedly decline the prompt upon opening Zettlr or opt to install the command line tools. The installation of these tools is secure and unobtrusive, offering additional benefits. For more details on the command line tools, refer to [this Apple discussion thread](https://developer.apple.com/forums/thread/13781). Further information can be found in the [related GitHub issue](https://github.com/Zettlr/Zettlr/issues/4709).
