check to see if the lua53 installer has an option, or config file, to specify where to find git. or, if the installer is a script, edit it. or just make a symlink ln -s /sbin/git /usr/bin/. — cas, May 08 '21 at 02:11

Different distributions put some files in different places. That's normal, just go with whatever you find in void-linux and don't worry if its in a different place than you are expecting to see it compared to another distribution . The only caveat would be if you suddenly find it in a real oddball location like /tmp or your home directory.

If its a standard utility installed by void-linux and its not in /usr/sbin, /bin (or their sub-directories) then question its authenticity and ASK about it before executing it.
