gitk is a graphical repository browser for Git. It allows you to browse the history of a Git repository, view commit messages, file contents, and the differences between commits. It uses the Tk widget toolkit to provide a user-friendly interface.

gitk is a valuable tool for understanding the history of a Git repository, finding specific commits, and examining changes made over time. Its graphical interface makes it easier to visualize the branch structure and commit history than using command-line tools alone.

It displays a graph of the commit history, allowing users to easily navigate between commits. Users can click on commits to view their details, including the author, date, commit message, and the changes introduced by the commit. gitk can also be used to compare different versions of files and visualize the differences between them.
gitk is useful for both developers and non-developers who need to understand the history of a Git repository.

gitk relies on the Tk widget toolkit. Ensure that Tk is installed on your system before using gitk.

To browse the entire history of the current repository, simply run gitk without any arguments. To view the history of a specific file, provide the file path as an argument: gitk path/to/file.
