You are prompted to enter a password when you run the git command installed on your Mac.

I'm a beginner in programming.

After installing git on the mac, you will be asked to enter the password as follows.

I don't remember setting it up, so I can't move on from here.
I would appreciate it if you could tell me the solution.

$git --version

Agreeing to the Xcode / iOS license requirements admin privileges, please run "sudo xcodebuild-license" and then retry this command.

You must enter your login password to your Mac.
Some directories require privileges to write to a Mac, and the sudo command requires your own password (which you enter on the Mac login screen) to "access it as a privileged user."

Please enter your Mac login password.If you have not set a password for your account, set the password from your system preferences.

Perhaps you have installed the XCode Command Line Tool version of git, so you are being asked to agree to the XCode Terms of Use.

For this reason, you are told to execute the command sudoxcodebuild-license (requires a hyphen), but sudo at the beginning of this command is "Run the following command with root privileges."

When using sudo, you must enter the password for the Mac administrator account.It is not a git-specific password.As far as the output is concerned, it looks like you just need to enter your Mac account password.

[sudo] Execute commands on specified users --Linux command book
You need an administrator password to use the sudo command in the terminal --Apple Support
