git: error: SDK “macosx” cannot be located

Question

Just updated my machine to Yosemite. I\'m getting this error from Git now:

git: error: SDK \"macosx\" cannot be located

I\'m able to run

Not sure exactly what, but something got out of whack during the upgrade. Uninstall CommandLineTools by typing sudo rm -r /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools then reinstall. I just typed some git command like: git status and let the OS prompt me to install the CommandLineTools. Everything is happy now.
