OpenInGitGui

A droplet which allows you to open Git-Gui from finder.

To install, download, and extract to /Applications/Scripts (you'll need to create the Scripts directory, likely). Then, find the icon, and drag it up to your toolbar. Keep it there for a few seconds until it "sticks".

To use, open finder to a folder with a git repository, and click the "Git" icon.

This is really a modified version of open in textmate,

The AppleScript? in this one opens a scratch terminal. This can be avoided by using, instead of "tell Application Terminal do script [...] end tell", just this (without invoking the Terminal):

do shell script "(cd " & listOfAliases & "; /usr/local/git/bin/git-gui)"

This was on purpose.

For me it causes issues to open it outside of terminal, which is actually what motivated me to create this droplet in the first place.

I've installed this droplet, can see the terminal window open for a second, but git gui won't open after that :( I've confirmed that my git gui works from terminal, not sure how to debug the problem, and I'd like to use this droplet.
