Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output +of various git commands.
+When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present the +user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the commit +with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.
+Using it as a pager, it will display input from stdin and try to colorize it.
+To get tig either grab the Makefile and tig.c files from the tig home page:
+or clone the tig repository using the URL:
+Documentation files are available either at the home page or or in the above +repository in the branch named docs.
+To install tig simply run:
+$ make install+
To install documentation run:
+$ make install-docs+
