Whenever I try to execute the 'git gui' command on terminal it shows
/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui: line 8: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish: No such file or directory
/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui: line 8: exec: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish: cannot execute: No such file or directory
I'm facing this issue today after a software update of macOS Big Sur. Current version is 11.4
Basically all you need to do is type 'open . ' to open the current directory in Finder and then click the Git button to open up git gui.
Step 1: Download and install the latest version of Git for Windows. Step 2: Use the default options for each step in the installation. Step 3: Remove Git Bash Desktop Icon. Step 4: Go to Start > All Programs > Git > Git GUI and make a Desktop Shortcut.
Windows and Linux Users To run gitk, type gitk in your command line or terminal. To run git-gui, type git gui instead.
The problem is resolved now.
First, when I executed git --version
it returned with git version 2.23.0
.
As some solution provided by people, while uninstalling git using $ brew uninstall git
. Got another problem of No available formula or cask with the name "git".
After uninstalling git using /usr/local/git/uninstall.sh
. The git command
git --version
returned git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)
.
Now using only Apple-distributed Git.
Conclusion,
Just execute /usr/local/git/uninstall.sh
Reinstall git and git-gui.
$ brew uninstall git
$ brew install git
$ brew install git-gui
$ brew link git-gui
In my case new installation of git with overriding symlinks worked:
$ brew uninstall git
$ brew install git
# Force the link and overwrite all conflicting files
$ brew link --overwrite git
# List all files that would be deleted
$ brew link --overwrite --dry-run git
# Force the link and overwrite all conflicting files:
$ brew link --overwrite autoconf
# All files that would be deleted:
$ brew link --overwrite --dry-run autoconf
