"git-1.9.2 already installed, it's just not linked"

When I run

brew install git

I see

Warning: git-1.9.2 already installed, it's just not linked

How may I correct this?

Hi Nauman,

Will you run a command and post the result that you get here in a reply to me?

git config --list

I'm not sure if I know what the issue is but I have an idea.

Thanks!

Thus far I haven't needed git but I would appreciate any help you could provide before I arrive at the point where I need it.
