# [PATCH] git-gui: try to locate git in same directory as git-gui (on Windows) 2 messages from 2007-10-06 to 2007-10-07. Participants: Steffen Prohaska, Shawn O. Pearce. Thread: https://gitlist.dev/t/10167 ## Steffen Prohaska, 2007-10-06 09:36 Subject: [PATCH] git-gui: try to locate git in same directory as git-gui (on Windows) Message-ID: <11916634041243-git-send-email-prohaska@zib.de> URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/11916634041243-git-send-email-prohaska%40zib.de ``` This commit adds another guess where git might be located. After searching PATH the last fallback is the directory in which git-gui is installed. This is a good guess for a sane installation. Even if git is not included in PATH, git-gui is now able to locate it. Hence git-gui can be passed to wish as an absolute path without caring about the environment. PATH is searched first and the location of git-gui only as a last resort. Maybe the order should be reversed?
