268<p>This is the manual for tig, the ncurses-based text-mode interface for git.\r
269Tig allows you to browse changes in a git repository and can additionally act\r
270as a pager for output of various git commands. When used as a pager, it will\r
271display input from stdin and colorize it.</p>\r
272<p>When browsing repositories, tig uses the underlying git commands to present\r
273the user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the\r
274commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.</p>\r

417<h3><a id="pager-mode"></a>1.1. Pager Mode</h3>\r
418<p>If stdin is a pipe, any log or diff options will be ignored and the pager view\r
419will be opened loading data from stdin. The pager mode can be used for\r
420colorizing output from various git commands.</p>\r

426<h3><a id="cmd-options"></a>1.2. Git Command Options</h3>\r
427<p>All git command options specified on the command line will be passed to the\r
428given command and all will be shell quoted before they are passed to the\r
429shell.</p>\r

453environment options.</p>\r
454<h3><a id="repo-refs"></a>2.1. Repository References</h3>\r
455<p>Commits that are referenced by tags and branch heads will be marked by the\r
456reference name surrounded by <em>[</em> and <em>]</em>:</p>\r
457<div class="listingblock">\r
458<div class="content">\r

460</div></div>\r
461<p>If you want to filter out certain directories under <tt>.git/refs/</tt>, say <tt>tmp</tt>\r
462you can do it by setting the following variable:</p>\r
463<div class="listingblock">\r
464<div class="content">\r
465<pre><tt>$ TIG_LS_REMOTE="git ls-remote . | sed /\/tmp\//d" tig</tt></pre>\r

467<p>Or set the variable permanently in your environment.</p>\r
468<dl>\r
469<dt>\r
470TIG_LS_REMOTE\r
471</dt>\r
472<dd>\r
473<p>\r
474 Set command for retrieving all repository references. The command\r
475 should output data in the same format as git-ls-remote(1).\r
476</p>\r
477</dd>\r
478</dl>\r
479<h3><a id="history-commands"></a>2.2. History Commands</h3>\r
480<p>It is possible to alter which commands are used for the different views. If\r
481for example you prefer commits in the main view to be sorted by date and only\r
482show 500 commits, use:</p>\r
483<div class="listingblock">\r
484<div class="content">\r
485<pre><tt>$ TIG_MAIN_CMD="git log --date-order -n500 --pretty=raw %s" tig</tt></pre>\r
486</div></div>\r
487<p>Or set the variable permanently in your environment.</p>\r
488<p>Notice, how <tt>%s</tt> is used to specify the commit reference. There can be a\r
489maximum of 5 <tt>%s</tt> ref specifications.</p>\r
490<dl>\r
491<dt>\r
492TIG_DIFF_CMD\r
493</dt>\r
494<dd>\r
495<p>\r
496 The command used for the diff view. By default, git show is used\r
497 as a backend.\r
498</p>\r
499</dd>\r
500<dt>\r
501TIG_LOG_CMD\r
502</dt>\r
503<dd>\r
504<p>\r
505 The command used for the log view. If you prefer to have both\r
506 author and committer shown in the log view be sure to pass\r
507 <tt>&#8212;pretty=fuller</tt> to git log.\r
508</p>\r
509</dd>\r
510<dt>\r
511TIG_MAIN_CMD\r
512</dt>\r
513<dd>\r
514<p>\r
515 The command used for the main view. Note, you must always specify\r
516 the option: <tt>&#8212;pretty=raw</tt> since the main view parser expects to\r
517 read that format.\r
518</p>\r
519</dd>\r
520</dl>\r
521</div>\r
522<h2><a id="viewer"></a>3. The Viewer</h2>\r
523<div class="sectionbody">\r
524<p>The display consists of a status window on the last line of the screen and one\r
525or more views. The default is to only show one view at the time but it is\r
526possible to split both the main and log view to also show the commit diff.</p>\r
527<p>If you are in the log view and press <em>Enter</em> when the current line is a commit\r
528line, such as:</p>\r
529<div class="listingblock">\r
530<div class="content">\r
531<pre><tt>commit 4d55caff4cc89335192f3e566004b4ceef572521</tt></pre>\r
532</div></div>\r
533<p>You will split the view so that the log view is displayed in the top window\r
534and the diff view in the bottom window. You can switch between the two views\r
535by pressing <em>Tab</em>. To maximize the log view again, simply press <em>l</em>.</p>\r
536<h3><a id="commit-id"></a>3.1. Current Head and Commit ID</h3>\r
537<p>The viewer keeps track of both what head and commit ID you are currently\r
538viewing. The commit ID will follow the cursor line and change every time\r
539you highlight a different commit. Whenever you reopen the diff view it will be\r
540reloaded, if the commit ID changed.</p>\r
541<p>The head ID is used when opening the main and log view to indicate from what\r
542revision to show history.</p>\r
543<h3><a id="views"></a>3.2. Views</h3>\r
544<p>Various <em>views</em> of a repository is presented. Each view is based on output\r
545from an external command, most often <em>git log</em>, <em>git diff</em>, or <em>git show</em>.</p>\r
546<dl>\r
547<dt>\r
548The main view\r
549</dt>\r
550<dd>\r
551<p>\r
552 Is the default view, and it shows a one line summary of each commit\r
553 in the chosen list of revisions. The summary includes commit date,\r
554 author, and the first line of the log message. Additionally, any\r
555 repository references, such as tags, will be shown.\r
556</p>\r
557</dd>\r
558<dt>\r
559The log view\r
560</dt>\r
561<dd>\r
562<p>\r
563 Presents a more rich view of the revision log showing the whole log\r
564 message and the diffstat.\r
565</p>\r
566</dd>\r
567<dt>\r
568The diff view\r
569</dt>\r
570<dd>\r
571<p>\r
572 Shows either the diff of the current working tree, that is, what\r
573 has changed since the last commit, or the commit diff complete\r
574 with log message, diffstat and diff.\r
575</p>\r
576</dd>\r
577<dt>\r
578The tree view\r
579</dt>\r
580<dd>\r
581<p>\r
582 Lists directory trees associated with the current revision allowing\r
583 subdirectories to be descended or ascended and file blobs to be\r
584 viewed.\r

1023<h2><a id="refspec"></a>5. Revision Specification</h2>\r
1024<div class="sectionbody">\r
1025<p>This section describes various ways to specify what revisions to display or\r
1026otherwise limit the view to. Tig does not itself parse the described\r
1027revision options so refer to the relevant git man pages for further\r
1028information. Relevant man pages besides git-log(1) are git-diff(1) and\r
1029git-rev-list(1).</p>\r
1030<p>You can tune the interaction with git by making use of the options explained\r
1031in this section. For example, by configuring the environment variables\r
1032described in the <a href="#history-commands">"History commands"</a> section.</p>\r
1033<h3><a id="path-limiting"></a>5.1. Limit by Path Name</h3>\r
1034<p>If you are interested only in those revisions that made changes to a specific\r
1035file (or even several files) list the files like this:</p>\r
1036<div class="listingblock">\r
1037<div class="content">\r
1038<pre><tt>$ tig log Makefile README</tt></pre>\r
1039</div></div>\r
1040<p>To avoid ambiguity with repository references such as tag name, be sure to\r
1041separate file names from other git options using "--". So if you have a file\r
1042named <em>master</em> it will clash with the reference named <em>master</em>, and thus you\r
1043will have to use:</p>\r
1044<div class="listingblock">\r
1045<div class="content">\r
1046<pre><tt>$ tig log -- master</tt></pre>\r
1047</div></div>\r

1049<table><tr>\r
1050<td class="icon">\r
1051<div class="title">Note</div>\r
1052</td>\r
1053<td class="content">For the main view, avoiding ambiguity will in some cases require you to\r
1054specify two "--" options. The first will make tig stop option processing\r
1055and the latter will be passed to git log.</td>\r
1056</tr></table>\r
1057</div>\r
1058<h3><a id="date-number-limiting"></a>5.2. Limit by Date or Number</h3>\r
1059<p>To speed up interaction with git, you can limit the amount of commits to show\r
1060both for the log and main view. Either limit by date using e.g.\r
1061<tt>&#8212;since=1.month</tt> or limit by the number of commits using <tt>-n400</tt>.</p>\r
1062<p>If you are only interested in changed that happened between two dates you can\r
1063use:</p>\r
1064<div class="listingblock">\r
1065<div class="content">\r
1066<pre><tt>$ tig -- --after="May 5th" --before="2006-05-16 15:44"</tt></pre>\r
1067</div></div>\r
1068<div class="admonitionblock">\r
1069<table><tr>\r
1070<td class="icon">\r
1071<div class="title">Note</div>\r
1072</td>\r
1073<td class="content">If you want to avoid having to quote dates containing spaces you can use\r
1074"." instead, e.g. <tt>&#8212;after=May.5th</tt>.</td>\r
1075</tr></table>\r
1076</div>\r
1077<h3><a id="commit-range-limiting"></a>5.3. Limiting by Commit Ranges</h3>\r
1078<p>Alternatively, commits can be limited to a specific range, such as "all\r
1079commits between <em>tag-1.0</em> and <em>tag-2.0</em>". For example:</p>\r
1080<div class="listingblock">\r
1081<div class="content">\r
1082<pre><tt>$ tig log tag-1.0..tag-2.0</tt></pre>\r
1083</div></div>\r
1084<p>This way of commit limiting makes it trivial to only browse the commits which\r
1085haven't been pushed to a remote branch. Assuming <em>origin</em> is your upstream\r
1086remote branch, using:</p>\r
1087<div class="listingblock">\r
1088<div class="content">\r
1089<pre><tt>$ tig log origin..HEAD</tt></pre>\r
1090</div></div>\r
1091<p>will list what will be pushed to the remote branch. Optionally, the ending\r
1092<em>HEAD</em> can be left out since it is implied.</p>\r
1093<h3><a id="reachability-limiting"></a>5.4. Limiting by Reachability</h3>\r
1094<p>Git interprets the range specifier "tag-1.0..tag-2.0" as "all commits\r
1095reachable from <em>tag-2.0</em> but not from <em>tag-1.0</em>". Where reachability refers\r
1096to what commits are ancestors (or part of the history) of the branch or tagged\r
1097revision in question.</p>\r
1098<p>If you prefer to specify which commit to preview in this way use the\r
1099following:</p>\r
1100<div class="listingblock">\r
1101<div class="content">\r
1102<pre><tt>$ tig log tag-2.0 ^tag-1.0</tt></pre>\r
1103</div></div>\r
1104<p>You can think of <em>^</em> as a negation operator. Using this alternate syntax, it\r
1105is possible to further prune commits by specifying multiple branch cut offs.</p>\r
1106<h3><a id="refspec-combi"></a>5.5. Combining Revisions Specification</h3>\r
1107<p>Revisions options can to some degree be combined, which makes it possible to\r
1108say "show at most 20 commits from within the last month that changed files\r
1109under the Documentation/ directory."</p>\r
1110<div class="listingblock">\r
1111<div class="content">\r
1112<pre><tt>$ tig -- --since=1.month -n20 -- Documentation/</tt></pre>\r
1113</div></div>\r
1114<h3><a id="refspec-all"></a>5.6. Examining All Repository References</h3>\r
1115<p>In some cases, it can be useful to query changes across all references in a\r
1116repository. An example is to ask "did any line of development in this\r
1117repository change a particular file within the last week". This can be\r
1118accomplished using:</p>\r
1119<div class="listingblock">\r
1120<div class="content">\r
1121<pre><tt>$ tig -- --all --since=1.week -- Makefile</tt></pre>\r
