This seems to me a very strange decision. But anyway, I would assume that somehow one can still install it, though I can't find anything in README, INSTALL or elsewhere??

It is "git gui" (no dash) now. It is in RelNotes, the very first paragraph (Documentation/RelNotes-1.6.0.txt). ``` ## Pieter de Bie, 2008-08-20 21:24 Subject: Re: 1.6.0: where is git-gui?

Hint #0. Have you read release notes? Hint #1. "git-commit" is spelled "git commit" these days. Hint #2. Shouldn't "git-gui" now be spelled "git gui"? Solution. "git gui" ;-) ``` ## David Kastrup, 2008-08-21 10:03 Subject: Re: 1.6.0: where is git-gui?

Have you read release notes? The point of using a GUI is to never have to deal with command lines or other plaintext geek jargon making your eyes glaze over.

I've read the release notes, but it didn't occur to me that "git-gui" is part of "git" --- I assumed it would be, like "gitk", a different program (which just be chance is using the same naming convention like "git-clone" etc.).

Well, it really is a separate program, just like gitk is. But its name being "git-gui" and not "gitgui" is not by accident. I chose it to fit into the "git foo" naming scheme used by the core tools, so it fit better into the overall user experience. Ditto with "git citool". -- Shawn. ```
