Start gitk from git gui command line

git, git-gui, gitk

Solution

Presumably you mean something like `git gui gitk` should launch the gitk program in the current repository on the current branch. git-gui doesn't provide that, but you can of course just enter `gitk` on the command line and launch gitk itself and it will show the current branch history. Use `gitk &` if you are using a unix-style shell and want it disconnected from the console.

Problem

Is there a way to start gitk on the master branch of a repo from git gui command line ? I had a look at the doc, the only thing that seems possible is to open a browser on the repo, not showing history. Any clue ? Thanks
