In Windows it is sometimes faster to check changes in files with graphical Git Commit Tool
or Git History
tool. These tools can be opened by right clicking on specific files that are in a git repository (displaying these shortcuts in context menu can be enabled when installing git from windows).
The problem I am experiencing is that opening Git History
from context menu results in an error message Cannot find a git repository here
.
This obviously is a problem, however:
- Opening
Git Commit Tool
by right clickingGit Commit Tool
in context menu works fine. - Running
gitk file.txt
fromMinGW
works fine.
The installation pretty much uses the default settings, so I am not sure what could be the problem.
