error in Terminal when trying to install textmate bundle from github

Question

I'm trying to install the Coffeescript bundle into TextMate via terminal.

I cd to the correct directory but when I try the git command I get:

"Launch of "git" failed: the PowerPC architecture is no longer supported." I imagine that's because I upgraded to Lion. But this seems ridiculous that I can't git anymore.

And manual install doesn't work because the bundle is a group of folders, not a single file like all the other bundles in the Bundles section of the application.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Charlie Magee

You don't need Git to install a TextMate bundle:

1. download the .zip from github
2. extract it
3. rename the folder to coffeescript.tmbundle
4. double-click on it to install it automatically
5. done

Your Git problem is probably because your git is a PowerPC executable or an universal executable. You should re-install it.

A few things are missing from your question: When/how did you install git? Do you use it often? Does it work elsewhere? What was the previous version of your OS?
