gitk shows blank in mac os Catalina

Question

my system is macOS Catalina 10.15.7 (19H2)

I installed git via brew, below shows the version installed

git --version
git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128)

and the version for git-gui is 2.30.0

when i type gitk, in either iterm2, or the ios builtin terminal app, they all just show blank

I followed https://stackoverflow.com/a/17814988/4582240 to try to update the git, hoping it would do some magic, but it did not.

Please help on this.

I decided to use sourceTree, and also install the sourceTree command line tool instead. It works fine on mac. but I will keep this question open and curious about the solutions. — soMuchToLearnAndShare, Jan 13 '21 at 15:29
“I installed git via brew” Actually no. You are using Apple’s Git, not the one from brew. — matt, Jan 13 '21 at 20:04
@matt, it now shows different result after used 'brew upgrade git-gui' ```git --version git version 2.30.0``` — soMuchToLearnAndShare, Jan 14 '21 at 20:21

This worked for me after I did brew upgrade git-gui
