How do I open the Git GUI from a command window? I'm using Windows 7. I've tried running this:
"C:\Apps\Git\libexec\git-core\git-gui"
but that's not a windows script. When I right-click on a folder, I see an option that says, "Git GUI Here". When I click on that, the Git GUI opens up. I want to do the same thing from a command line.
Open the Git command prompt window You can open the command prompt from the Actions menu on the Changes, Commits, and Branches pages. You can also open it from the Connect page: Right-click your local repo, and then click Open Command Prompt.
git gui focuses on allowing users to make changes to their repository by making new commits, amending existing ones, creating branches, performing local merges, and fetching/pushing to remote repositories. Unlike gitk, git gui focuses on commit generation and single file annotation and does not show project history.
From GitExtension, open your repository, then you can open git bash and do what you want. Or, start git bash, then cd to the directory where your code is (at the top level), but, I find it easier to just start with GitExtension so I don't have to think about what I had typed as the top of my src.
Simply entering
git gui
works for me.
