I have been learning Rails with the help of Michael Hartl's tutorial, but I think I messed something up while following his Git installation directions: First, everything works; in fact, I completed tutorial and pushed to GitHub and deployed to Heroku, no problem there.

But it looks like Git installed into my home directory. It wrote directories like:

lib/ 
bin/ 
libexec/

right into my home folder, next to OS X's "Movies", "Music", "Desktop", etc... I've inspected the contents, it's all Git stuff.

So: do I need to completely uninstall and reinstall Git, or is there a clean way to move it to the proper directory?

You can probably fix this by simply deleting the unwanted directories from your home directory, then reinstalling using the Git installation for Mac.
