Saving view on gitk

Question

How do you make custom views (created in the View->New view menu) persist across gitk sessions?

There doesn't seem to be anything related stored in .gitk. Is this impossible to achieve?

You can just save them using the GUI. There is a checkbox "Remember this view" .. Enable it.

gitk will write a line as the following to ~/.gitk:

set permviews {{{View1} {} --branches {}}

Thank you. It's called `Remember this view` on my gitk version, and it's just next to the view name – loopbackbee Jun 20 '14 at 15:41
@goncalopp Oh. I used a German version. It was just my best guess :) – hek2mgl Jun 20 '14 at 16:46
