Using command Git: gitk throws PATH errors

[gilluminate]

Trying to load gitk to see the history of a file but keep getting PATH errors similar to the errors people see who do not have a typical path.

error: Git binary could not be found in PATH

Consider using the git_command setting for the Git plugin

PATH is: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
reloading Packages/User/Git.sublime-settings

Setting git_command to git path does not help. I'm assuming there needs to be an option specifically for gitk
