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

I have the same issue. Git-gui appears still installed for me (/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui is my location) but it doesn't just work without specifying the full path. This indicates a path issue, but I've not looked into it much further.

edit Try adding /usr/local/git/libexec/git-core to the beginning of your PATH variable. Looks like all the git binaries are there so that should work.
