I couldn't find any documentation on gitk about what the colors mean, but the problem here I think is that my yellow button has passed my master. Now when I try to do: git push origin master It doesn't work. How did my yellow button get over master and how do I get them back together so I can do push origin master? This is what it loo...
I am introducing git to a team of developers and i find gitk to be an amazing tool. It's also quite hard to understand, since understanding gitk requires an understanding of both git history and the viewer tool itself. Does anyone have any good references to something like a "beginner's guide to git history with gitk" ? ...
I have a Git repository with about a two years of history in it. I have single file in it, for which I wish to find all the commits, and for each commit: all the other files that were committed in it. Let's assume this file is named file.txt. I can run gitk with this file as argument: gitk file.txt and I do get each commit. However, b...
I was checking out for a rich GUI for Git on Linux. Of late I have started using it a lot and find that even though command-line is very useful, I would still want a GUI at my disposal since I am not still very much aware with the advanced features. I came across this question on SO before, but I still have to ask this question again, a...
When I load gitk (git version 1.6.5.1) on OS X (SL) I recieve an error/warning about GreaseKit: Error loading /Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit: dlopen(/Library/Application Support/SIMBL/Plugins/GreaseKit.bundle/Contents/MacOS/GreaseKit, 265): no suitable image found.

I decided to delete a few branches from a (personal project) repository of mine that were merged into master after confirming on #git that leftover branches aren't really necessary. However, gitk's visualisation of my repository's history as a result has been completely screwed up. Basically something like this: With those branches ...
When I'm loading gitk I get an error about an argument Error in startup script: bad argument "zoomed": must be normal, iconic, or withdrawn while executing "wm state . $geometry(state)" (procedure "makewindow" line 320) invoked from within "makewindow" (file "/usr/local/git/bin/gitk" line 11250) Anybody knows a solutio...
I am trying to find source code in our project and I have access to the view with gitk but I don't have a local copy. Now I want to get a local copy. How do I interpret gitk presentation to extract the code into my local repository? ...
I want to view the history of a single file, and then compare a single revision from that history against the current version. On the command line, this is easy: Run: git log -- <filename> Locate the version you want to compare, Run: git diff <commitid> -- <filename> But how can this be done using only the default Git gui tools,...
Currently for merges without conflicts gitk shows no diffs. Is it possible to have the diffs resulting from a merge (which are indeed there, e.g. git diff HEAD~1 after the merge shows these diffs) shown by defautl, e.g. using a command line switch? Or why does gitk by default not show them? ...
After I do git pull, I want to see the revisions I just fetched in gitk. How can I do this? I know I can see what revisions to use in the output of git pull and I can give them as a parameter to gitk, but I want to do this automatically. (Actually, I don't need to see all the fetched revisions, those from the current branch are sufficie...
Can I copy source code in the left-bottom panel in gitk? Any keyboard shortcut or other functions? OS: Ubuntu 9.04 Desktop / gitk: 1:1.6.0.4-1ubuntu2 Thank you. ...
I'm using Git Gui and Gitk on Windows. How do I undo a hard reset from within the past two hours? (Is it possible to do this from these applications, without using the command line?) I saw this SO post, which says that undos are possible before git's garbage collection occurs. I might have quit and reopened one or both of these applica...
