Trying for the first time to use git on my company's Solaris box. I get the following error when attempting any git instruction:
-bash-4.4$ uname -a
SunOS bhmserpdev 5.11 11.4.0.15.0 sun4v sparc sun4v
-bash-4.4$ git init

Looks like it's something else. https://www.gnu.org/software/gnuit/. If we were talking about a gnu/linux box, I would say it would not be a problem to have two things named "git" as long as they are installed in different places and you are setting up the PATH correctly when you want to use one or the other (or specifying full path). On a solaris box, I would assume the same thing applies, but I would not be sure.
