I am using MSYS2 in Windows 10. git works fine, however gitk gives the error:
/usr/bin/gitk: line 3: exec: wish: not found
Some googling suggested this may be because TK is not installed, however I tried:
pacman -S tk
which gave the error:
error: target not found: tk
How do I get gitk to work in this environment?

The difference between MSYS2 and CYGWIN is that MSYS2 is oriented to the development of native Windows packages, while CYGWIN tries to provide a complete POSIX-like system to run any Unix application on it. For that reason, we recommend the use of MSYS2 as a subsystem to be used with Conan.
Git for Windows leverages MSYS2 and ships with a subset of its files.
Adding MSYS2 to your PATH variableClick on the “Environment Variables” button. In the “System Variables” section, scroll down and double-click on the “Path” variable. If you're on Windows 7/8, add the text C:\msys32\usr\bin;C:\msys32\usr\local\bin; to the beginning of the variable value.
Try running the 64-bit MinGW shell (one of the three environments provided by MSYS2), installing the package mingw-w64-x86_64-tk, and then running gitk.
Gitk works on my system, and wish is provided /mingw64/bin/wish.exe.
