Start gitk from git gui command line

Question

Is there a way to start gitk on the master branch of a repo from git gui command line ? I had a look at the doc, the only thing that seems possible is to open a browser on the repo, not showing history.

Any clue ? Thanks

Presumably you mean something like git gui gitk should launch the gitk program in the current repository on the current branch. git-gui doesn't provide that, but you can of course just enter gitk on the command line and launch gitk itself and it will show the current branch history. Use gitk & if you are using a unix-style shell and want it disconnected from the console.
