terminalgitx

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

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!

Solution

  • 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.
