I am running Qt Creator 4.11 on Ubuntu 18.04
When I attempt to launch Git Gui from Tools/Git/Git Tools/Git Gui, nothing happens. No messages-- nothing.
Basic git operations are working fine.
I assume this is because I need to install a separate tool but I can't find any reference to "git gui"
Can anyone tell me where to get the required tool?
Thanks! -

Why do you want to launch Git GUI from QtCreator? Qt Creator is a gui, therefore it doesn't make much sense to have try to.
git is a command-line tool, and some people don't like CLI, this is why Git Gui was created. The Git Tool from Qt Creator is kind of another wrapper. -
