make GitX open via Terminal for the repo laying at the current path

Question

I usually start gitx via the terminal command

$ gitx

Normally, when I'm at /path/to/repo as pwd in terminal, gitx was opening that repos log. I don't know if it was an update or if I changed some settings, but since some time, gitx opens blank, when i hit the command. I googled, and couldn't find. How do I get gitx to open the repo of the directory, I'm in at that moment?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Open terminal, navigate to the site directory and type this at the prompt:

$ open -a GitX .

--- edit ---

To make this change permanent, open your local .bashrc file:

$ vi ~/.bashrc

Add the following alias wherever you like:

alias gitx='open -a GitX .'

Save and exit, then reload the profile:

$ source ~/.bashrc

All done :) Now you should be able to just type gitx in the repo directory (in terminal) and voila, hope it helps.

Answer 2

There is a menu option for this in GitX.

GitX / Enable Terminal Usage…
