I have installed git and git-gui with the following commands:

brew install git

brew install git-gui

git config --global --add alias.gui '!sh -c '/usr/local/opt/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui''

Now when I run gitk I am getting some error that I am not able fix:

objc[74842]: autorelease pool page 0x7fa2240a4000 corrupted magic 0x71fbbca0 0x00007fff 0xb6d20633 0x00000000 should be 0xa1a1a1a1 0x4f545541 0x454c4552 0x21455341 pthread 0x0 should be 0x111da9dc0 Abort trap: 6

Can anyone help me on this. Thanks in advance!

    gitk is built on tcl/tk and wish (a "shell" for running tcl/tk programs). This kind of crash means someone's build a buggy version of wish, perhaps by mixing and matching the wrong libraries. I don't know what you'll need to do to fix it though. – torek Feb 19 '21 at 15:41

I have solved this by install upgrades and then installing tcl.

brew install tcl

  • Actually, if I call git-gui it does work, though gitk still does not. – Jonah May 04 '21 at 21:39

    `git-gui` and `gitk` are two entirely different applications. `gitk` still crashes after installing tcl. To circumvent the crash, edit `~/.config/git/gitk` to change `set geometry(state) zoomed` back to `set geometry(state) normal`, as per [this question](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/65938739/gitk-error-autorelease-pool-page-corrupted). – RAM Jul 11 '21 at 14:56
