NAME

tig - text-mode interface for git

SYNOPSIS

 tig        [options] [revisions] [--] [paths]
 tig show   [options] [revisions] [--] [paths]
 tig blame  [rev] path
 tig status
 tig <      [git command output]
 

DESCRIPTION

Browse changes in a git repository. Additionally, tig(1) can also act as a pager for output of various git commands.

When browsing repositories, tig(1) uses the underlying git commands to present the user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.

Using tig(1) as a pager, it will display input from stdin and try to colorize it.

OPTIONS

Command line options recognized by tig include all valid git-log(1) and git-diff(1) options, as well as the following subcommands and tig specific options. The first command line parameter not starting with "-" is interpreted as being either a revision specification or a path and will end the option parsing. All following options will be passed untouched to the underlying git command.

show

Open diff view using the given git show options.

blame

Show given file annotated or blamed by commits. Optionally limited from given revision.

status

Start up in status view.

-v, --version

Show version and exit.

-h, --help

Show help message and exit.

EXAMPLES

Display the current branch:

 $ tig
 

Display one or more specific branches:

 $ tig test master
 

Display all branches:

 $ tig --all
 

Display differences between two branches:

 $ tig test..master
 

Display changes for a single file:

 $ tig -- README
 

Display contents of the README file in a specific revision:

 $ tig show tig-0.8:README
 

Display revisions between two dates for a specific file:

 $ tig --after="2004-01-01" --before="2006-05-16" -- README
 

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

In addition to environment variables used by git (e.g. GIT_DIR), tig defines the ones below. The command related environment variables have access to the internal state of tig via replacement variables, such as %(commit) and %(blob). See manpage:tigrc[5] for a full list.

TIGRC_USER

Path of the user configuration file (defaults to ~/.tigrc).

TIGRC_SYSTEM

Path of the system wide configuration file (defaults to {sysconfdir}/tigrc).

TIG_LS_REMOTE

Set command for retrieving all repository references. The command should output data in the same format as git-ls-remote(1).

TIG_DIFF_CMD

The command used for the diff view. By default, git show is used as a backend.

TIG_LOG_CMD

The command used for the log view. If you prefer to have both author and committer shown in the log view be sure to pass --pretty=fuller to git log.

TIG_MAIN_CMD

The command used for the main view. Note, you must always specify the option: --pretty=raw since the main view parser expects to read that format.

Tree commands

TIG_TREE_CMD

The command used for the tree view. By default, git-ls-tree(1) is used.

TIG_BLOB_CMD

The command used for the blob view. By default, git-cat-file(1) is used.

FILES

~/.tigrc

User configuration file. See manpage:tigrc[5] for examples.

/etc/tigrc

System wide configuration file.

$GIT_DIR/config, '~/.gitconfig, '/etc/etc/gitconfig

Git configuration files. Read on start-up with the help of git-config(1).

BUGS

Known bugs and problems:

* Proper locale support: in itcqs current state tig is pretty much UTF-8 only.
