I am using Ubuntu 11.10 and have just installed git using
sudo apt-get install
The basic git commands seem to work. (I have created a repository and added a directory structure to it.) But not git gui or gitk. This is what I get
peter@peter-Inspiron-620:/var/www$ sudo git gui
git: 'gui' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
Did you mean one of these?
grep
init
pull
push
peter@peter-Inspiron-620:/var/www$
For gitk
peter@peter-Inspiron-620:/var/www$ sudo gitk
sudo: gitk: command not found
peter@peter-Inspiron-620:/var/www$
Do those commands run on Ubuntu and do I need to install them separately?
Thanks,
Peter.
sudo apt-get install git-gui gitk
sudo apt-get install git-gui gitk
After installing it, it's very probable that no menu item appears in your desktop or menues. To open them, open Terminal (usually, Ctrl+T) and type
git gui
or
gitk
When u get error during installing git gui as below:
sudo apt-get install git-gui
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package git-gui is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
E: Package 'git-gui' has no installation candidate
Try this command as
1. sudo apt-get install update
2. sudo apt-get install git-gui
Then it worked.
you can do install all git functions using command:
sudo apt-get install git-core git-gui git-doc
To install git-gui type this command:
sudo apt-get install git-gui
Then to open git-gui type:
git citool
For a centos system you can use the following command:
sudo yum install git-gui gitk
