DESCRIPTION

OPTIONS
-------
--l::
- Start up in log view using the internal log command.
+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.
--d::
- Start up in diff view using the internal diff command.
-
--S::
- Start up in status view.
+show::
+ Open diff view using the given git show options.
--n[INTERVAL], --line-number[=INTERVAL]::
- Prefix line numbers in log and diff view.
- Optionally, with interval different than each line.
+blame::
+ Show given file annotated or blamed by commits.
+ Optionally limited from given revision.
--b[NSPACES], --tab-size[=NSPACES]::
- Set the number of spaces tabs should be expanded to.
+status::
+ Start up in status view.
-v, --version::
Show version and exit.
-h, --help::
Show help message and exit.
-\--::
- End of tig(1) options. Useful when specifying command
- options for the main view. Example:
-+
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ tig -- --since=1.month
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-
-log::
- Open log view using the given git log options.
-
-diff::
- Open diff view using the given git diff options.
-
-show::
- Open diff view using the given git show options.
-
-[git options]::
- tig(1) will stop the option parsing when the first
- command line parameter not starting with "-" is
- encountered. All options including this one will be
- passed to git log when loading the main view.
- This makes it possible to say:
-+
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-$ tig tag-1.0..HEAD
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
