NAME
tig - text-mode interface for GitSYNOPSIS
tig [options] [revisions] [--] [paths] tig log [options] [revisions] [--] [paths] tig show [options] [revisions] [--] [paths] tig reflog [options] [revisions] tig blame [options] [rev] [--] path tig grep [options] [pattern] tig refs [options] tig stash [options] tig status tig < [Git command output]
DESCRIPTION
Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git(1). It functions mainly as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git commands.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 additional options will be passed to the underlying Git command. showOpen diff view using the given git-show(1)
options.
blame
Show given file annotated by commits. Takes
zero or more git-blame(1) options. Optionally limited from given
revision.
status
Start up in status view.
log
Start up in log view, displaying git-log(1)
output.
reflog
Start up in reflog view.
refs
Start up in refs view. All refs are displayed
unless limited by using one of the --branches, --remotes, or
--tags parameters.
stash
Start up in stash view.
grep
Open the grep view. Supports the same options
as git-grep(1).
+<number>
Show the first view with line <number>
visible and selected.
-v, --version
Show version and exit.
-h, --help
Show help message and exit.
-C <path>
Run as if Tig was started in <path>
instead of the current working directory.
PAGER MODE
Tig enters pager mode when input is provided via stdin and supports the following subcommands and options:•When the show subcommand is
specified and the --stdin option is given, stdin is assumed to be a
list of commit IDs and will be forwarded to the diff view’s underlying
git-show(1) command. For example:
$ git rev-list --author=vivien HEAD | tig show --stdin
•When --stdin is given, stdin is
assumed to be a list of commit IDs and will be forwarded to the main
view’s underlying git-log(1) command. For example:
$ tig --no-walk --stdin < cherry-picks.txt
•When --pretty=raw is given,
stdin is assumed to be a "pretty=raw" formatted output similar to
that of git-log(1). For example:
$ git reflog --pretty=raw | tig --pretty=raw
$ git log -Schange -p --raw | tig
EXAMPLES
Display the list of commits for the current branch:$ tig
$ tig test master
$ tig --all
$ tig test..master
$ tig --submodule
$ tig -- README
$ tig show tig-0.8:README
$ tig --after="2004-01-01" --before="2006-05-16" -- README
$ tig blame -C README
$ tig stash
$ tig grep -p DEFINE_ENUM
$ tig refs
$ tig --word-diff=plain
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 tigrc(5) for a full list. TIGRC_USERPath of the user configuration file (defaults
to ~/.tigrc or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tig/config).
TIGRC_SYSTEM
Path of the system wide configuration file
(defaults to {sysconfdir}/tigrc). Define to empty string to use built-in
configuration.
TIG_LS_REMOTE
Command for retrieving all repository
references. The command should output data in the same format as
git-ls-remote(1).
TIG_DIFF_OPTS
The diff options to use in the diff view. The
diff view uses git-show(1) for formatting and always passes --patch-with-stat.
You may also set the diff-options setting in the configuration file.
TIG_TRACE
Path for trace file where information about
Git commands are logged.
TIG_SCRIPT
Path to script that should be executed
automatically on startup. If this environment variable is defined to the empty
string, the script is read from stdin. The script is interpreted line-by-line
and can contain prompt commands and key mappings.
TIG_NO_DISPLAY
E.g. TIG_SCRIPT=<(echo :set main-view-commit-title-graph = no) tig
Open Tig without rendering anything to the
terminal. This force Ncurses to write to /dev/null. The main use is for
automated testing of Tig.
TIG_EDITOR
The editor command to use when visiting files.
This environment variable overrides $GIT_EDITOR, $EDITOR and $VISUAL, so it
allows to use a different editor from the one Git uses.
FILES
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tig/config, ~/.config/tig/config, ~/.tigrcThe Tig user configuration file is loaded in
the following way. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is set, read user configuration from
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tig/config. If $XDG_CONFIG_HOME is empty or undefined, read
user configuration from ~/.config/tig/config if it exists and fall back to
~/.tigrc if it does not exist. See tigrc(5) for examples.
/etc/tigrc
System wide configuration file.
$GIT_DIR/config, ~/.gitconfig, /etc/gitconfig
Git configuration files. Read on start-up with
the help of git-config(1).
$XDG_DATA_HOME/tig/history, ~/.local/share/tig/history,
~/.tig_history
When compiled with readline support, Tig
writes a persistent command and search history. The location of the history
file is determined in the following way. If $XDG_DATA_HOME is set and
$XDG_DATA_HOME/tig/ exists, store history to $XDG_DATA_HOME/tig/history. If
$XDG_DATA_HOME is empty or undefined, store history to
~/.local/share/tig/history if the directory ~/.local/share/tig/ exists, and
fall back to ~/.tig_history if it does not exist.
