By default, Git is not available in macOS. Git is available with Xcode command line tools. When you run the git command on a new machine, it executes usr/bin/git. If Xcode command Line tools is already installed, usr/bin/git works as git, else you see a popup asking you to install Xcode CommandLine Tools.

Workaround

Install the Git client and then launch Dreamweaver. You can install the git client from here.
