Problem description

The Git GUI has been intermittently flashed since upgrading to MacOS Sierra 10.12.

At first it was good, just occasionally flash back, recently really more and more frequent ...

I can't stand it, I find a way to solve it today.

The error is as follows:

Workaround

Google to an effective method

brew install tcl-tkbrew link tcl-tk --forceln -s $(which wish) "/usr/local/Cellar/git/$git_version/share/git-gui/lib/Git Gui.app/Contents/MacOS/Wish"

The operation is not complicated, mainly to install a new version first TCL/TK

Then use the soft link to replace the new version of TCL/TK with the old version of the Git GUI package (preferably backed up)

It's done.
