This is a summary of the installation of the set of tools outlined above. This procedure will put all of the tool repository sources into a directory under the user's home directory called gits. Everything in the instructions is executed by commands on the Mac OS command line in a terminal. Comment lines start with echo so that they can be cut and pasted into the terminal without causing errors. These instructions have been vetted on Mac OS Big Sur.
