`git gui` not working

[fengjianyun]

I'm very new to pkgx. Thank you for developping such a wonderful tool.

I try to use it with an old Spring boot project, and I've created a .pkgx.yml with only two dependencies:

dependencies:
  java@11 mvn@3.6

And I've used dev to initialize the environment.

The mvn commands work like a charm. But git gui doesn't work any more.

$ git gui
fatal: 'gui' appears to be a git command, but we were not
able to execute it. Maybe git-gui is broken?

With which git, I can find that it's git installed by pkgx is used. /home/xx/.pkgx/git-scm.org/v2.47.0/bin/git

As a workarond, I can run env -git to use my global git without any problem. So how can I do that in .pkgx.yml to tell pkgx not to install a local git.

Thank you very much.

The pkgx version is 1.2.2

Hm. I don't see git in my environment with that .pkgx.yml, albeit on macOS. I would do a dev off; echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep git-scm and ensure it's not coming in some other way. You should be able to check that again after doing dev as well.

we have an open ticket on pantry to complete git-gui, so packaging that is another option, but that doesn't solve your mystery, only your outcome.

Where is git-gui installed?

[fengjianyun]

Sorry, I've forgotten to mention that I use WSL 2 (Ubuntu).

I think it's added because of the .git directory.

I don't know. With which git-gui, no result is displayed in the dev enabled directory or an ordinary directory.

I tested the command.

with dev off, there's no git-scm found. The output is

env -openjdk.org^21 -maven.apache.org~3.9 -git-scm.org

After dev, the output of echo $PATH | tr ':' '\n' | grep git-scm is

/home/xx/.pkgx/git-scm.org/v2.47.0/bin
