NAME
----
tigrc - tig user configuration file


SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
.............................................................................
*set*   'variable' *=* 'value'
*bind*  'keymap' 'key' 'action'
*color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
.............................................................................


DESCRIPTION
-----------

You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file.  The
file consists of a series of 'commands'.  Each line of the file may contain
only one command.

The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the
comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to
annotate your initialization file.


Set command
-----------

A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax
is:

[verse]
..............................................................................
*set* variables *=* value
..............................................................................

Examples:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
set show-rev-graph = yes	# Show revision graph?
set line-number-interval = 5	# Interval between line numbers
set tab-size = 8		# Number of spaces per tab
set encoding = "UTF-8"		# Commit encoding
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.

Valid bool values::

	To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
	Any other value will set the variable to false.

Valid int values::

	A non-negative integer.

Valid string values::

	A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.

Variables
~~~~~~~~~

The following variables can be set:

'show-rev-graph' (bool)::

	Show revision graph in the main view on start-up. Can be toggled with
	'g'.

'line-number-interval' (int)::

	Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line
	numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option.  The default is to
	number every line.

'tab-size' (int)::

	Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.

'commit-encoding' (string)::

	The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
	is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`.


Bind command
------------

Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
key map. The syntax is:

[verse]
..............................................................................
*bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
..............................................................................

Examples:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
# A few keybindings
bind main w scroll-line-up
bind main s scroll-line-down
bind main space enter
bind diff a previous
bind diff d next
bind diff b move-first-line
# 'unbind' the default quit key binding
bind main Q none
# An external command to update from upstream
bind generic F !git fetch
# Cherry-pick current commit unto current branch
bind generic C !git cherry-pick %(commit)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
built-in keybindings.

--

Keymaps::

Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
and *generic*.  Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.

Key values::

Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use
*Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment
character.

*Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*,
*Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*,
*F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*.

Action names::

Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.

--

Actions
~~~~~~~

Apart from the action names listed below, all actions starting with a '!' will
be available as an external command. External commands can contain variable
names that will be substituted before the command is run. Valid variable names
are "%(head)", "%(commit)", and "%(blob)".

As an example, the following external command will save the current commit as
a patch file: "!git format-patch %(commit)^..%(commit)".

Color command
-------------

Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be
given as the last parameter. The syntax is:

[verse]
..............................................................................
*color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
..............................................................................

Examples:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Overwrite the default terminal colors to white on black.
color default		white	black
# Diff colors
color diff-header	yellow	default
color diff-index	blue	default
color diff-chunk	magenta	default
# A strange looking cursor line
color cursor		red	default underline
# UI colors
color title-blur	white	blue
color title-focus	white	blue	bold
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Area names::

	Valid area names are described below. Note, all names are
	case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
	e.g. "Diff-Header", "DIFF_HEADER", and "diff.header" are the same.

Color names::

	Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*,
	*cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the
	default terminal colors.

Attribute names::

	Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*,
	*standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported
	by the terminal.

UI colors

Default terminal colors::

The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or
that specify the use of the default terminal colors can be controlled by
setting the *default* color option.

Use the *default* color to use the colors configured for the terminal. This is
the default and recommended if you are using a terminal with a transparent
background.

Status window colors::

Appearance of the bottom window showing info messages.

*status*

Title window colors::

Appearance of the title windows when they are attached
to any backgrounded windows and the current window.

*title-blur*, *title-focus*

Cursor line colors::

*cursor*

Main view specific::

Appearance of the various columns in the main view, including the '~' used for
delimiting long author names and labels for tag and branch references.

*main-date*, *main-author*, *main-commit*, *main-delim*, *main-tag*,
*main-local-tag*, *main-ref*, *main-remote*, *main-revgraph*
