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.
