On line https://github.com/NataliaLKB/learn-git-basics/blame/1116839e12c4165cb1b232747b466189e216ec7c/README.md#L98 you are recommending people install Git CLI tools using Homebrew.

While this is often recommended as the "easy" way of installing/upgrading the version of Git on Mac, e.g: http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/93002/how-to-properly-update-git-on-mac

But if you want the latest version (brew is usually behind by one release) its easy enough to download it directly: http://git-scm.com/download/mac see: http://superuser.com/questions/666086/issues-installing-git-under-mac-os-x-10-9-mavericks

If you are keen on keeping in the brew suggestion, maybe hyperlink it to a brew tutorial:
