Environment: Mac OSX 10.10. When I was trying to use gitk, it shows:
Coda-2:~ Coda$ gitk
-bash: gitk: command not found
I think the reason is the old version of git. Here is some information, and I have already typed brew update.
Coda-2:~ Coda$ git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)
Coda-2:~ Coda$ brew install git
Warning: git-2.4.0 already installed, it's just not linked
What is this message: it's just not linked?
Furthermore, I check the path of git:
Coda-2:~ Coda$ which git
/usr/bin/git
It should be in /usr/bin/local/git? How to fix it?
UPDATE
I figure it out, thank @TimCastelijns.
brew doctor said:
Warning: You have unlinked kegs in your Cellar
Leaving kegs unlinked can lead to build-trouble and cause brews that depend on
those kegs to fail to run properly once built. Run `brew link` on these:
git
So, I typed:
Coda-2:~ Coda$ brew link git
Linking /usr/local/Cellar/git/2.4.0... 220 symlinks created
Then I typed gitk, and it worked and the path changed to /usr/local/bin/git. However, when I want to check the version of git. It still showed the old version, why?
Coda-2:~ Coda$ git --version
git version 1.9.3 (Apple Git-50)
Answer
I just installed the latest version of git via homebrew on macos.
11:28 $ git --version
git version 2.25.0
It doesn't seem to have gitk and git gui so I noticed the answer for linux and tried to install the same package git-gui via homebrew and it worked.
brew install git-gui
Found the bug here.
I'm running macos 10.14.5 Mojave.
