NAME

       tigrc - Tig configuration file

SYNOPSIS

       set   variable = value
       bind  keymap key action
       color area fgcolor bgcolor [attributes]
       source path

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. Commands can
       span multiple lines if each line is terminated by a backslash (\) character.

       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.

       Certain options can be manipulated at runtime via the option menu. In addition, options
       can also be toggled with the :toggle prompt command or by entering the configuration
       command into the prompt.

       In some environments, a user’s configuration will be stored in the alternate location
       $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/tig/config. For brevity, this document will refer only to ~/.tigrc.

GIT CONFIGURATION

       Alternatively to using ~/.tigrc, Tig options can be set by putting them in one of the Git
       configuration files, which are read by Tig on startup. See git-config(1) for which files
       to use. The following example show the basic syntax to use for settings, bindings and
       colors.

           [tig] show-changes = true
           [tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold
           [tig "bind"] generic = P parent

       In addition to tig-specific options, the following Git options are read from the Git
       configuration:

       color.*
           Colors for the various UI types. Can be configured via the git-colors setting.

       core.abbrev
           The width of the commit ID. See also id-width option.

       core.editor
           The editor command. Can be overridden by setting TIG_EDITOR or GIT_EDITOR.

       core.worktree
           The path to the root of the working tree.

       gui.encoding
           The encoding to use for displaying of file content.

       i18n.commitencoding
           The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8.

SET COMMAND

       A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax is:

           set variables = value

       Examples:

           set commit-order = topo         # Order commits topologically
           set git-colors = no             # Do not read Git's color settings.
           set horizontal-scroll = 33%     # Scroll 33% of the view width
           set blame-options = -C -C -C    # Blame lines from other files

           # Wrap branch names with () and tags with <>
           set reference-format = (branch) <tag>

           # Configure blame view columns using command spanning multiple lines.
           set blame-view = \
                   date:default \
                   author:abbreviated \
                   file-name:auto \
                   id:yes,color \
                   line-number:yes,interval=5 text

       Or in the Git configuration files:

           [tig]
                   line-graphics = no      # Disable graphics characters
                   tab-size = 8            # Number of spaces per tab

       The type of variables is either bool, int, string, or mixed.

       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.

       Valid mixed values
           These values are composites of the above types. The valid values are specified in the
           description.

   Variables
       The following variables can be set:

       diff-options (string)
           A space-separated string of diff options to use in the diff view. git-show(1) is used
           for formatting and always passes --patch-with-stat. Can control display of commit
           header metadata, passing option --format. This option overrides any options specified
           in the TIG_DIFF_OPTS environment variable (described in tig(1)), but is itself
           overridden by diff flags given on the command line invocation.

       blame-options (string)
           A space-separated string of default blame options. Can be used for telling
           git-blame(1) how to detect the origin of lines. The options are ignored when Tig is
           started in blame mode and given blame options on the command line.

       log-options (string)
           A space-separated string of default options that should be passed to the git-log(1)
           command used by the log view. Options can be overridden by command line options. Used
           internally override custom ‘pretty.format’ settings that break the log view.

       main-options (string)
           A space-separated string of default options that should be passed to the git-log(1)
           command used by the main view. Options can be overridden by command line options.

       reference-format (string)
           A space-separated string of format strings used for formatting reference names. Wrap
           the name of the reference type with the characters you would like to use for
           formatting, e.g.  [tag] and <remote>. If no format is specified for local-tag, the
           format for tag is used. Similarly, if no format is specified for tracked-remote the
           remote format is used. Prefix with hide: to not show that reference type, e.g.
           hide:remote. Supported reference types are:

           •   head : The current HEAD.

           •   tag : An annotated tag.

           •   local-tag : A lightweight tag.

           •   remote : A remote.

           •   tracked-remote : The remote tracked by current HEAD.

           •   replace : A replaced reference.

           •   branch : A branch.

           •   stash : The stash.

           •   other : Any other reference.

       line-graphics (mixed) [ascii|default|utf-8|auto|<bool>]
           What type of character graphics for line drawing. "auto" means "utf-8" if the locale
           is UTF-8, "default" otherwise.

       truncation-delimiter (mixed) [utf-8|<string>]
           A single character to draw where columns are truncated. The default is "~". The
           special value "utf-8" refers to the character "..." ("Midline Horizontal Ellipsis").

       horizontal-scroll (mixed)
           Interval to scroll horizontally in each step. Can be specified either as the number of
           columns, e.g.  5, or as a percentage of the view width, e.g.  33%, where the maximum
           is 100%. For percentages it is always ensured that at least one column is scrolled.
           The default is to scroll 50% of the view width.

       git-colors (list)
           A space-separated list of "key=value" pairs where the key is a Git color name and the
           value is a Tig color name, e.g. "branch.current=main-head" and
           "grep.filename=grep.file". Set to "no" to disable.

       show-notes (mixed) [<reference>|<bool>]
           Whether to show notes for a commit. When set to a note reference the reference is
           passed to git show --notes=. Notes are enabled by default.

       show-changes (bool)
           Whether to show staged and unstaged changes in the main view.

       show-untracked (bool)
           Whether to show also untracked changes in the main view.

       vertical-split (mixed) [auto|<bool>]
           Whether to split the view horizontally or vertically. "auto" (which is the default)
           means that it will depend on the window dimensions. When true vertical orientation is
           used, and false sets the orientation to horizontal.

       split-view-height (mixed)
           The height of the bottom view in a horizontally split display. Can be specified either
           as the number of rows, e.g.  5, or as a percentage of the view height, e.g.  80%,
           where the maximum is 100%. It is always ensured that the smaller of the views is at
           least four rows high. The default is 67%.

       split-view-width (mixed)
           Width of the right-most view in a vertically split display. Can be specified either as
           the number of column, e.g.  5, or as a percentage of the view width, e.g.  80%, where
           the maximum is 100%. It is always ensured that the smaller of the views is at least
           four columns wide. The default is 50%.

       status-show-untracked-dirs (bool)
           Show untracked directories contents in the status view (analog to git ls-files
           --directory option). On by default.

       status-show-untracked-files (bool)
           Show untracked files in the status view (mirrors Git’s status.showUntrackedFiles
           option). On by default.

       tab-size (int)
           Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.

       diff-context (int)
           Number of context lines to show for diffs.

       diff-highlight (mixed)
           Whether to highlight diffs using Git’s diff-highlight program. Defaults to false. When
           set to true then diff-highlight is used, else the option value is used as the path.
           When this option is in effect, highlighted regions are governed by color
           diff-add-highlight and color diff-del-highlight.

       ignore-space (mixed) [no|all|some|at-eol|<bool>]
           Ignore space changes in diff view. By default no space changes are ignored. Changing
           this to "all", "some" or "at-eol" is equivalent to passing "--ignore-all-space",
           "--ignore-space" or "--ignore-space-at-eol" respectively to git diff or git show.

           Warning: when ignore-space is set to some, all or at-eol, then the status-update and
           status-revert may fail when updating or reverting chunks containing lines with space
           changes. Similarly, stage-update-line may fail when updating a line adjacent to a line
           with space changes

       commit-order (enum) [auto|default|topo|date|author-date|reverse]
           Commit ordering using the default (chronological reverse) order, topological order,
           date order or reverse order. When set to "auto" (which is the default), topological
           order is automatically used in the main view when the commit graph is enabled. In
           repositories with a long commit history it is advised to set this option to "default"
           to speed up loading of the main view.

       ignore-case (enum) [no|yes|smart-case]
           Ignore case in searches. "smart-case" ignores case if the search string doesn’t
           contain any uppercase letters. By default, the search is case sensitive.

       mailmap (bool)
           Read canonical name and email addresses for authors and committers from .mailmap. Off
           by default. See git-shortlog(1).

       wrap-lines (bool)
           Wrap long lines. By default, lines are not wrapped. Not compatible with line numbers
           enabled.

       focus-child (bool)
           Whether to focus the child view when it is opened. When disabled the focus will remain
           in the parent view, avoiding reloads of the child view when navigating the parent
           view. True by default.

       send-child-enter (bool)
           Whether to send "enter" key presses to the child view, even if parent view is active.
           When disabled the child view has to be explicitly focused to receive the "enter" key
           presses. In practice only relevant when set focus-child = no. True by default.

       editor-line-number (bool)
           Whether to pass the selected line number to the editor command. The line number is
           passed as +<line-number> in front of the file name. Example: vim +10 tig.c

       history-size (int)
           Size of the persistent ~/.tig_history file when compiled with readline support.
           Default is 500. Set to 0 to disable.

       mouse (bool)
           Whether to enable mouse support. Off by default since it makes selecting text from the
           terminal less intuitive. When enabled hold down Shift (or Option on Mac) to select
           text. Mouse support requires that ncurses itself support mouse events.

       mouse-scroll (int)
           Interval to scroll up or down using the mouse. The default is 3 lines. Mouse support
           requires that ncurses itself support mouse events and that you have enabled mouse
           support in ~/.tigrc with set mouse = true.

       mouse-wheel-cursor (bool)
           Whether to prefer moving the cursor to scrolling the view when using the mouse wheel.
           Off by default. Combines well with set mouse-scroll = 1. Mouse support requires that
           ncurses itself support mouse events and that you have enabled mouse support in
           ~/.tigrc with set mouse = true.

       pager-autoscroll (bool)
           Whether to scroll automatically the pager view while loading. Move the cursor out of
           the last line to stop scrolling and back in to resume.

       pgrp (bool)
           Make tig process-group leader when starting and clean all processes when exiting. Off
           by default. Do not enable this option if you are using a Zsh version affected by
           zsh-workers/43379. Run xclip with setsid to keep clipboard content after exiting tig.
           If you are using git-credential-cache helper, set option credentialCache.ignoreSIGHUP.

       start-on-head (bool)
           Start with cursor on HEAD commit.

       refresh-mode (mixed) [manual|auto|after-command|periodic|<bool>]
           Configures how views are refreshed based on modifications to watched files in the
           repository. When set to manual, nothing is refreshed automatically. When set to auto,
           views are refreshed when a modification is detected in another view. When set to
           after-command only refresh after returning from an external command. When set to
           periodic, visible views are refreshed periodically using refresh-interval.

       refresh-interval (int)
           Interval in seconds between view refresh update checks when refresh-mode is set to
           periodic.

       file-args (args)
           Command line arguments referring to files. These are filtered using git-rev-parse(1).

       rev-args (args)
           Command line arguments referring to revisions. These are filtered using
           git-rev-parse(1).

   View settings
       The view settings define the order and options for the different columns of a view. Each
       view setting expects a space-separated list of column specifications. Column
       specifications starts with the column type, and can optionally be followed by a colon (:)
       and a list of column options. E.g. the following column specification defines an author
       column displaying the author email and with a fixed width of 20 characters:
       author:email,width=20.

       The first option value in a column specification is always the display option. When no
       display value is given, yes is assumed. For display options expecting an enumerated value
       this will automatically resolve to the default enum value. For example, file-name will
       automatically have its display setting resolve to auto.

       Specifications can also be given for a single column, for example to override the defaults
       in the system tigrc file. To override a single column, use the column name as a suffix
       after the view setting name, e.g. main-view-date will allow to set the date in the main
       view.

       Examples:

           # Enable both ID and line numbers in the blame view
           set blame-view = date:default author:full file-name:auto id:yes,color \
                            line-number:yes,interval=5 text

           # Change grep view to be similar to `git grep` format
           set grep-view = file-name:yes line-number:yes,interval=1 text

           # Show file sizes as units
           set tree-view = line-number:no,interval=5 mode author:full \
                           file-size:units date:default id:no file-name

           # Show line numbers for every 10th line in the pager view
           set pager-view = line-number:yes,interval=10 text

           # Shorthands to change view settings for a previously defined column
           set main-view-date = custom
           set main-view-date-format = "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M"
           set blame-view-line-number = no
           # Use Git's default commit order, even when the commit graph is enabled.
           set commit-order = default

       The following list shows which the available view settings and what column types they
       support:

       blob-view, diff-view, log-view, pager-view, stage-view
           line-number, text

       blame-view
           author, date, file-name, id, line-number, text

       grep-view
           file-name, line-number, text

       main-view, reflog-view
           author, date, commit-title, id, line-number, ref

       refs-view
           author, date, commit-title, id, line-number, ref

       stash-view
           author, date, commit-title, id, line-number

       status-view
           file-name, line-number, status

       tree-view
           author, date, id, file-name, file-size, line-number, mode

       Supported column types and their respective column options:

       author

           •   display (mixed) [full|abbreviated|email|email-user|<bool>]: How to display author
               names. If set to "abbreviated" author initials will be shown.

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the column. When set to a value between 1 and 10, the
               author name will be abbreviated to the author’s initials. When set to zero, the
               width is automatically sized to fit the content.

           •   maxwidth (int): Maximum width of the column. Permit automatically sizing content,
               up to this limit. Can be specified either as the number of columns, e.g.  15, or
               as a percentage of the view width, e.g.  20%, where the maximum is 100%.

       commit-title

           •   graph (mixed) [no|v2|v1]: Whether to show the revision graph in the main view on
               start-up. "v1" refers to the old graph rendering, which is less accurate but
               faster and thus recommended in large repositories. See also the line-graphics
               options.

           •   refs (bool): Whether to show references (branches, tags, and remotes) in the main
               view. Can be toggled.

           •   overflow (bool or int): Whether to highlight text in commit titles exceeding a
               given width. When set to a boolean, it enables or disables the highlighting using
               the default width of 50 character. When set to an int, the assigned value is used
               as the maximum character width.

       date

           •   display (mixed) [relative|relative-compact|custom|default|<bool>]: How to display
               dates. If set to "relative" or "relative-compact" a relative date will be used,
               e.g. "2 minutes ago" or "2m". If set to "custom", the strftime(3) string format
               specified in the "format" option is used.

           •   local (bool): If true, use localtime(3) to convert to local timezone. Note that
               relative dates always use local offsets.

           •   format (string): format string to pass to strftime(3) when custom display mode has
               been selected.

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the column. When set to zero, the width is
               automatically sized to fit the content.

       file-name

           •   display (mixed) [auto|always|<bool>]: When to display file names. If set to "auto"
               file names are shown only when needed, e.g. when running: tig blame -C <file>.

           •   width (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is automatically
               sized to fit the content.

           •   maxwidth (int): Maximum width of the column. Permit automatically sizing content,
               up to this limit. Can be specified either as the number of columns, e.g.  15, or
               as a percentage of the view width, e.g.  20%, where the maximum is 100%.

       file-size

           •   display (mixed) [default|units|<bool>]: How to display file sizes. When set to
               "units", sizes are shown using binary prefixes, e.g. 12524 bytes is shown as
               "12.2K".

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the filename column. When set to zero, the width is
               automatically sized to fit the content.

       id

           •   display (bool): Whether to show commit IDs in the main view.

           •   width (int) : Fixed width for the commit ID column. When unset Tig will use the
               value of core.abbrev if found. See git-config(1) on how to set core.abbrev. When
               set to zero the width is automatically sized to fit the content of reflog (e.g.
               ref/stash@{4}) IDs and otherwise default to 7.

       line-number

           •   display (bool): Whether to show line numbers.

           •   interval (int): Interval between line numbers.

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the column. When set to zero, the width is
               automatically sized to fit the content.

       mode

           •   display (bool): Whether to show file modes.

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the column. When set to zero, the width is
               automatically sized to fit the content.

       ref

           •   display (bool): Whether to show the reference name.

           •   width (int): Fixed width for the column. When set to zero, the width is
               automatically sized to fit the content.

           •   maxwidth (int): Maximum width of the column. Permit automatically sizing content,
               up to this limit. Can be specified either as the number of columns, e.g.  15, or
               as a percentage of the view width, e.g.  20%, where the maximum is 100%.

       status

           •   display (mixed) [no|short|long|<bool>]: How to display the status label.

       text

           •   commit-title-overflow (bool or int): Whether to highlight commit titles exceeding
               a given width in the diff view. When set to a boolean, it enables or disables the
               highlighting using the default width of 50 character. When set to an int, the
               assigned value is used as the maximum character width.

       All column options can be toggled. For display options, use the option name as the prefix
       followed by a dash and the column name. E.g. :toggle author-display will toggle the
       display option in the author column. For all other options use the column name followed by
       a dash and then the option name as the suffix. E.g. :toggle commit-title-graph will toggle
       the graph option in the commit-title column. Alternatively, use the option menu to
       manipulate options.

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:

           # Add keybinding to quickly jump to the next diff chunk in the stage view
           bind stage <Enter> :/^@@

           # Disable the default mapping for running git-gc
           bind generic G none

           # User-defined external command to amend the last commit
           bind status + !git commit --amend

           # User-defined internal command that reloads ~/.tigrc
           bind generic S :source ~/.tigrc

           # UTF8-encoded characters can be used as key values.
           bind generic ø @sh -c "printf '%s' %(commit) | pbcopy"

       Or in the Git configuration files:

           [tig "bind"]
                   # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
                   main = Q none
                   # Cherry-pick current commit onto current branch
                   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 override the generic keybindings which override the built-in keybindings.

       Keybindings at the line-entry prompt are typically governed by the readline library, and
       are configured separately in ~/.inputrc. See readline(1). Tig respects but does not
       require an $if tig section in ~/.inputrc.

       Keymaps
           Valid keymaps are: main, diff, log, reflog, help, pager, status, stage, tree, blob,
           blame, refs, stash, grep and generic. Use generic to set key mapping in all keymaps
           (which may still be overridden by a specific view keybinding). Use search to define
           keys for navigating search results during search.

       Key values
           Key values should never be quoted. Use either an ASCII or UTF8-encoded character or
           one of the following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive and
           starts with "<" and ends with ">". Use <Hash> to bind to the # key, since the hash
           mark is used as a comment character. Use <LessThan> to bind to the < key.

       <Enter>, <Space>, <Backspace>, <Tab>, <Escape> or <Esc>, <Left>, <Right>, <Up>, <Down>,
       <Insert> or <Ins>, <Delete> or <Del>, <Hash>, <LessThan> or <LT>, <Home>, <End>, <PageUp>
       or <PgUp>, <PageDown> or <PgDown>, <ScrollBack> or <SBack>, <ScrollFwd> or <SFwd>,
       <ShiftTab> or <BackTab>, <ShiftLeft>, <ShiftRight>, <ShiftDelete> or <ShiftDel>,
       <ShiftHome>, <ShiftEnd>, <SingleQuote>, <DoubleQuote>, <F1> ... <F19>

       To define key mappings with the Ctrl key, use <Ctrl-key>. In addition, key combos
       consisting of an initial Escape key followed by a normal key value can be bound using
       <Esc>key.

       Examples:

           bind main R             refresh
           bind main <Down>        next
           bind main <Ctrl-f>      scroll-page-down
           bind main <Esc>o        options
           bind main <ShiftTab>    parent

       Notes

       •   Tig reads keystrokes via ncurses and is subject to various limitations. See
           ncurses(3x) and terminfo(5) (or termcap).

       •   Ctrl-m and Ctrl-i cannot be bound as they conflict with Enter and Tab respectively.

       •   Case differences cannot be distinguished in control sequences such as Ctrl-f and
           Ctrl-F.

       •   Ctrl-<Space> is typically translated to Ctrl-@, which is available for binding.

       •   Only some subset of special symbolic keys such as <ShiftTab> will be available in any
           given terminal emulator.

       •   Ctrl-z is automatically used for process control and will suspend Tig and open a
           subshell (use fg to reenter Tig).

           Actions
               Actions are either specified as user-defined commands (external or internal) or
               using action names as described in the following sections.

   External user-defined command
       These actions start with one or more of the following option flags followed by the command
       that should be executed.

       !   Run the command in the
           foreground with output shown.

       @   Run the command in the
           background with no output.

       +   Run the command synchronously,
           and echo the first line of
           output to the status bar.

       ?   Prompt the user before executing
           the command.

       <   Exit Tig after executing the
           command.

       >   Re-open Tig instantly in the
           last displayed view after
           executing the command.

       Unless otherwise specified, commands are run in the foreground with their console output
       shown (as if ! was specified). When multiple command options are specified their behavior
       are combined, e.g. "?<git commit" will prompt the user whether to execute the command and
       will exit Tig after completion.

       Note that if you want to use pipes or redirection in your commands then you must run them
       in a subshell, i.e. embed your commands in sh -c '<commands>'.

       Browsing state variables
           User-defined commands can optionally refer to Tig’s internal state using the following
           variable names, which are substituted before commands are run:

           %(head)                       The currently viewed head ID.

                                         %(branch) will contain the
                                         branch name.

                                         prompt using "%(prompt Enter
                                         branch name: )"

           %(text)                       The text column of the currently
                                         selected line.

           %(repo:head)                  The name of the checked out
                                         branch, e.g. master

           %(repo:head-id)               The commit ID of the checked out
                                         branch.

           %(repo:remote)                The remote associated with the
                                         checked out branch, e.g.
                                         origin/master.

           %(repo:cdup)                  The path to change directory to
                                         the repository root, e.g. ../

           %(repo:prefix)                The path prefix of the current
                                         work directory, e.g subdir/.

           %(repo:git-dir)               The path to the Git directory,
                                         e.g. /src/repo/.git.

           %(repo:worktree)              The worktree path, if defined.

           %(repo:is-inside-work-tree)   Whether Tig is running inside a
                                         work tree, either true or false.

           Examples:

               # Save the current commit as a patch file when the user selects a commit
               # in the main view and presses 'S'.
               bind main S !git format-patch -1 %(commit)

               # Create and checkout a new branch; specify custom prompt
               bind main B ?git checkout -b "%(prompt Enter new branch name: )"

               # Show commit statistics for the author under the cursor
               bind main U +sh -c 'git --no-pager shortlog -s --author="$(git show -s --format=%aE %(commit))" </dev/tty'

       Advanced shell-like commands
           If your command requires use of dynamic features, such as subshells, expansion of
           environment variables and process control, this can be achieved by using a shell
           command:

           Example 1. Configure a binding to copy the current commit ID to the clipboard.

               bind generic I @sh -c "echo -n %(commit) | xclip -selection c"

           Or by using a combination of Git aliases and Tig external commands. The following
           example entries can be put in either the .gitconfig or .git/config file:

           Example 2. Git configuration which binds Tig keys to Git command aliases.

               [alias]
                       gitk-bg = !"gitk HEAD --not $(git rev-parse --remotes) &"
                       publish = !"for i in origin public; do git push $i; done"
               [tig "bind"]
                       generic = V @git gitk-bg
                       generic = > !git publish

   Internal user-defined commands
       Actions beginning with a : will be run and interpreted as internal commands and act
       similar to commands run via Tig’s prompt. Valid internal commands are configuration file
       options (as described in this document) and pager view commands. Examples:

           # Reload ~/.tigrc when 'S' is pressed
           bind generic S :source .tigrc

           # Change diff view to show all commit changes regardless of file limitations
           bind diff F :set diff-options = --full-diff

           # Show the output of git-reflog(1) in the pager view
           bind generic W :!git reflog

           # Search for previous diff (c)hunk and next diff header
           bind stage 2 :?^@@
           bind stage D :/^diff --(git|cc)

           bind main I :toggle id                          # Show/hide the ID column
           bind diff D :toggle diff-options --minimal      # Use minimal diff algorithm
           bind diff [ :toggle diff-context -3             # Decrease context (-U arg)
           bind diff ] :toggle diff-context +3             # Increase context
           bind generic V :toggle split-view-height -10%   # Decrease split height

       Similar to external commands, pager view commands can contain variable names that will be
       substituted before the command is run.

   Action names
       Valid action names are described below. Note, all action 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 background
       combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be given as the last
       parameter. The syntax is:

           color area fgcolor bgcolor [attributes]

       Examples:

           # Override the default terminal colors to white on black.
           color default           white   black
           # Diff colors
           color diff-header       yellow  default
           color diff-index        blue    default
           color diff-chunk        magenta default
           color "Reported-by:"    green   default
           # View-specific color
           color tree.date         black   cyan    bold
           # Custom color
           color "/(note|warning|error):/" yellow  default bold

       Or in the Git configuration files:

           [tig "color"]
                   # A strange looking cursor line
                   cursor          = red   default underline
                   # UI colors
                   title-blur      = white blue
                   title-focus     = white blue    bold
           # View-specific color
           [tig "color.tree"]
                   date            = cyan  default bold

       Area names
           Can be either a built-in area name or a custom quoted string. The latter allows custom
           color rules to be added for lines matching a quoted string. Strings of the form
           "/.../" are interpreted as regular expressions. Valid built-in area names are
           described below. Note, all names are case-insensitive, and you may use -, and _
           interchangeably, e.g. "Diff-Header" and "DIFF_HEADER" are the same. View-specific
           colors can be defined by prefixing the view name to the area name, e.g.
           "stage.diff-chunk" and "diff.diff-chunk".

       Color names
           Valid colors include: white, black, green, magenta, blue, cyan, yellow, red, default.
           Use default to refer to the default terminal colors, for example, to keep the
           background transparent when you are using a terminal with a transparent background.

           Colors can also be specified using the keywords color0, color1, ..., colorN-1 (where N
           is the number of colors supported by your terminal). This is useful when you remap the
           colors for your display or want to enable colors supported by 88-color and 256-color
           terminals. Note that the color prefix is optional. If you prefer, you can specify
           colors directly by their numbers 0, 1, ..., N-1 instead, just like in the
           configuration file of Git.

       Attribute names
           Valid attributes include: normal, blink, bold, dim, reverse, standout, and underline.
           Note, not all attributes may be supported by the terminal.

   UI colors
       The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or that specify
       the use of the default terminal colors can be controlled by setting the default color
       option.

                        uses the ASCII colors, where the
                        second half of them have the
                        bold attribute enabled to give a

       pp-refs, pp-reflog, pp-reflogmsg, pp-merge

       Raw commit header
           Usually shown when --pretty=raw is given, however commit is pretty much omnipresent.

SOURCE COMMAND

       Source commands make it possible to read additional configuration files. Sourced files are
       included in-place, meaning when a source command is encountered the file will be
       immediately read. Any commands later in the current configuration file will take
       precedence.

       If the given path does not exist, tig will proceed with a warning. Give the -q parameter
       to suppress the warning.

       The syntax is:

           source [-q] path

       Examples:

           source ~/.tig/colorscheme.tigrc
           source ~/.tig/keybindings.tigrc
