# you have ctags but it does not work...
$ ctags -R --exclude=.git --exclude=log *

#you need to get new ctags, i recommend homebrew but anything will work
$ brew install ctags
#alias ctags if you used homebrew
$ alias ctags="`brew --prefix`/bin/ctags"
#try again!
ctags -R --exclude=.git --exclude=log *
#puts tags file into you .gitignore (probably global) and you're all set!
