#gitk

The images in this entire thread are to die for 😭💔

My favorite:

I just was upgraded to a SSD Macbook Pro and so began the process of re-*-ing everything...including Xcode. So Xcode installs a lot of great utilities any developer would need. The list is way too long and most likely you don't use them all, but they are there and incredibly convenient...except for one...GIT

Now don't get me wrong, GIT is great. However, the version that comes with the newer Xcode does not like gitk very much. It throws errors along the lines of:

CFURLCopyResourcePropertyForKey failed because it was passed this URL which has no scheme:

Well the problem is with the git version...literally! Check your git version...if you're having this issue your version number is probably not "clean"...what do I mean? See the example:

$ git --version > git version 1.7.12.4 (Apple Git-37)

See all that crud after the version number in the top? gitk doesn't like it. It's looking for something simple like the following:

$ git --version > git version 1.8.3

There are hacky ways to 'solve' this issue without actually getting another version of git, but I figure, why go through all the trouble especially if a newer version is available? Follow these steps and you'll be good to go with gitk.

The easiest steps to fix gitk

First you're going to need to download the latest version of git. Go for the DMG, and let the wizard do the installation for you. Once that's completed you'll need to move some files around. Since 'git' is currently in your $PATH (it should be!) you just need to replace the old git binary with the new one:

$ which git > /usr/bin/git $ cp /usr/local/git/bin/git /usr/bin

ubuntuでgitのログをグラフィカルに見たいなぁと思って探したら、

gitkというのがあったので入れてみました。

インストールも簡単。

sudo apt-get install git-gui gitk

起動はgitのワークディレクトリで…
