OSX Sierra Upgrade and broken dev tools

I upgraded my work Macbook from OSX El Capitan to Sierra after which git started returning a very unfriendly message

$ git status
git xcrun: error: invalid active developer path (/Library/Developer/CommandLineTools), missing xcrun at: /Library/Developer/CommandLineTools/usr/bin/xcrun

It turns out to be an issue with the OSX developer tools installation. Reinstall it with the following (requires sudo password) and you'll be good to go.

$ xcode-select --install
