> Git comes with a graphical history viewer for your actual repositories, gitk

Well, sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, e.g. on macos it doesn't.

> gitk, which should really be people's default go-to

That's a matter of preference. For instance, I've been recommending Magit to all new starters (quickly installing spacemacs as a shell for that) and it's been working out great so far.




Not on RHEL either.

I live in VSCode and the Git Graph [1] extension works nicely.

If you installed git on MacOS using Homebrew, the natural next step is to install the git-gui formula (gitk and friends).

I don't find gitk particularly useful, but it is right there.
