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 ('#'), or semi-colon (';') 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.
+You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. 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-author = yes # Show author?
+set show-date = yes # Show commit date?
+set show-rev-graph = yes # Show revision graph?
+set show-refs = yes # Show references?
+set show-line-numbers = no # Show line numbers?
+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::
-Color options
+ A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
+
+Variables
+~~~~~~~~~
+
+The following variables can be set:
+
+'show-author' (bool)::
+'show-date' (bool)::
+'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
+'show-refs' (bool)::
+
+ Whether to show author, date, revision graph, and references
+ (branches, tags, and remotes) in the main view on start-up. Can all be
+ toggled.
+
+'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 options control highlighting and the user interface styles.
-If your terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign
-foreground/backgound combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an
-attribute can be given as the last parameter. The syntax is:
