git gui not working after installing in Mac (e.g. Mountain Lion)

Question

When I ran git gui, I got this:

$ git gui
git: \'gui\' is not a git command. See \'git --help\'.

Did you mean one of these?
    grep
    init
    p         


        

Answer 1

You might need to install/upgrade separately the git-gui package after installing Mountain Lion.
As mentioned in "Git GUI client for Linux", git gui has its own package (beside git-core).

From the comments, it seems a git-gui package isn't yet available for Mountain Lion.
However, this post report making work an alternative gui like Source Tree.
That could be a good workaround.
