NAME

       tig - text-mode interface for Git

SYNOPSIS

       tig        [options] [revisions] [--] [paths]
       tig log    [options] [revisions] [--] [paths]
       tig show   [options] [revisions] [--] [paths]
       tig blame  [options] [rev] [--] path
       tig grep   [options] [pattern]
       tig stash
       tig status
       tig <      [Git command output]

DESCRIPTION

       Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git(1). It functions mainly as a Git
       repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for commit at chunk level and
       act as a pager for output from various Git commands.

OPTIONS

       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 additional options will be
       passed to the underlying Git command.

       show
           Open diff view using the given git-show(1) options.

       blame
           Show given file annotated by commits. Takes zero or more git-blame(1) options.
           Optionally limited from given revision.

       status
           Start up in status view.

       log
           Start up in log view, displaying git-log(1) output.

       stash
           Start up in stash view.

       grep
           Open the grep view. Supports the same options as git-grep(1).

       +<number>
           Show the first view with line <number> visible and selected.

       -v, --version
           Show version and exit.

       -h, --help
           Show help message and exit.

PAGER MODE

       Tig enters pager mode when input is provided via stdin and supports the following
       subcommands and options:

       •   When the show subcommand is specified and the --stdin option is given, stdin is
           assumed to be a list of commit IDs and will be forwarded to the diff view’s underlying
           git-show(1) command. For example:

           $ git rev-list --author=vivien HEAD | tig show --stdin

       •   When --stdin is given, stdin is assumed to be a list of commit IDs and will be
           forwarded to the main view’s underlying git-log(1) command. For example:

           $ tig --no-walk --stdin < cherry-picks.txt

       •   When --pretty=raw is given, stdin is assumed to be a "pretty=raw" formatted output
           similar to that of git-log(1). For example:

           $ git reflog --pretty=raw | tig --pretty=raw

       When no subcommands nor options are given, the pager view will be used for displaying the
       Git command input given on stdin. The pager view assumes the input is either from
       git-log(1) or git-diff(1) and will highlight it similar to the log and diff views. For
       example:

           $ git log -Schange -p --raw | tig

EXAMPLES

       Display the list of commits for the current branch:

           $ tig

       Display commits from one or more branches:

           $ tig test master

       Display all branches:

           $ tig --all

       Display differences between two branches:

           $ tig test..master

       Display changes for sub-module versions:

           $ tig --submodule

       Display changes for a single file:

           $ tig -- README

       Display contents of the README file in a specific revision:

           $ tig show tig-0.8:README

       Display revisions between two dates for a specific file:

           $ tig --after="2004-01-01" --before="2006-05-16" -- README

       Blame file with copy detection enabled:

           $ tig blame -C README

       Display the list of stashes:

           $ tig stash

       Grep all files for lines containing DEFINE_ENUM:

           $ tig grep -p DEFINE_ENUM

ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES

       In addition to environment variables used by Git (e.g. GIT_DIR), Tig defines the ones
       below. The command related environment variables have access to the internal state of Tig
       via replacement variables, such as %(commit) and %(blob). See tigrc(5) for a full list.

       TIGRC_USER
           Path of the user configuration file (defaults to ~/.tigrc).

       TIGRC_SYSTEM
           Path of the system wide configuration file (defaults to {sysconfdir}/tigrc). Define to
           empty string to use built-in configuration.

       TIG_LS_REMOTE
           Set command for retrieving all repository references. The command should output data
           in the same format as git-ls-remote(1).

       TIG_DIFF_OPTS
           The diff options to use in the diff view. The diff view uses git-show(1) for
           formatting and always passes --patch-with-stat. You may also set the diff-options
           setting in the configuration file.

       TIG_TRACE
           Path for trace file where information about Git commands are logged.

FILES

       ~/.tigrc
           User configuration file. See tigrc(5) for examples.

       /etc/tigrc
           System wide configuration file.

       $GIT_DIR/config, '~/.gitconfig, '/etc/gitconfig
           Git configuration files. Read on start-up with the help of git-config(1).
