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 pr 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 startup. 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
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

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 shaddow the generic keybindings which shaddow the
built-in keybindings.

--

Keymaps::

Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, 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.

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
backgound combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be given
as the last parameter. The syntax is:

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

Examples:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------
	# Diff colors
	color diff-header	yellow	default
	color diff-index	blue	default
	color diff-chunk	magenta	default
	# A strange looking cursor line

	# UI colors
	color title-blur	white	blue
	color title-focus	white	blue	bold
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

	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*,

Highlighting

info, commit ID, and author and comitter date.

*pp-author*, *pp-commit*, *pp-merge*, *pp-date*, *pp-adate*, *pp-cdate*
