NAME
tigrc - tig user configuration file
SYNOPSIS
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:
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 start-up. 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:
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 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.

COLOR COMMAND
Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If
your terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign

color title-blur white blue
color title-focus white blue bold
