I'm using windows powershell to manage git, but am limited in that it can't seem to run the Gitk command. (At least by default)

Are there any other tools I can use from PS or is there a way I can force PS to interpret the Gitk launch script correctly?

Just make sure C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\gitk or C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\cmd\gitk.cmd ( change as per where you installed MSYSGIT) is in PATH
