git gui is not working after software update to macOS Big Sur to 11.4


Whenever I try to execute the 'git gui' command on terminal it shows

/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui: line 8: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish: No such file or directory
/usr/local/git/libexec/git-core/git-gui: line 8: exec: /usr/local/git/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish: cannot execute: No such file or directory

I'm facing this issue today after a software update of macOS Big Sur. Current version is 11.4


Solution

  • The problem is resolved now.

    First, when I executed git --version it returned with git version 2.23.0.

    As some solution provided by people, while uninstalling git using $ brew uninstall git. Got another problem of No available formula or cask with the name "git".

    After uninstalling git using /usr/local/git/uninstall.sh. The git command git --version returned git version 2.24.3 (Apple Git-128).

    Now using only Apple-distributed Git.

    Conclusion, Just execute /usr/local/git/uninstall.sh
