  • kudos for coming up with a patch for this, but I am unlikely to go to the trouble of custom building of gitk Commented Dec 14, 2011 at 3:43
  • It is a single file script - you can just edit /usr/local/bin/gitk or wherever it is. Commented Dec 14, 2011 at 8:08
  • yes - unless you copy it locally (eg: ~/bin/gitk). The patch could be sumbitted upstream but I suspect most people prefer having this reset each time they close the app. Possibly a decision for the maintainer to make. Commented Dec 14, 2011 at 8:23
  • I guess this is probably the best for now. What I do is that I don't close the app and just reload it Commented Dec 14, 2011 at 9:03
  • Except the value will not be preserved over restarts of the application. The savestuff function recreates it afresh each time you exit the application so your added line will get removed unless you modify the function as shown. Commented Aug 31, 2015 at 14:53
