520 * ENVIRONMENT VARIABLES
521 * ---------------------
522 * Several options related to the interface with git can be configured
523 * via environment options.
525 * Repository references
526 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
527 * Commits that are referenced by tags and branch heads will be marked
528 * by the reference name surrounded by '[' and ']':
530 * 2006-03-26 19:42 Petr Baudis | [cogito-0.17.1] Cogito 0.17.1
532 * If you want to filter out certain directories under `.git/refs/`, say
533 * `tmp` you can do it by setting the following variable:
535 * $ TIG_LS_REMOTE="git ls-remote . | sed /\/tmp\//d" tig
537 * Or set the variable permanently in your environment.
540 * Set command for retrieving all repository references. The command
541 * should output data in the same format as git-ls-remote(1).
544 #define TIG_LS_REMOTE \
545 "git ls-remote . 2>/dev/null"
551 * It is possible to alter which commands are used for the different views.
552 * If for example you prefer commits in the main view to be sorted by date
553 * and only show 500 commits, use:
555 * $ TIG_MAIN_CMD="git log --date-order -n500 --pretty=raw %s" tig
557 * Or set the variable permanently in your environment.
559 * Notice, how `%s` is used to specify the commit reference. There can
560 * be a maximum of 5 `%s` ref specifications.
563 * The command used for the diff view. By default, git show is used
567 * The command used for the log view. If you prefer to have both
568 * author and committer shown in the log view be sure to pass
569 * `--pretty=fuller` to git log.
572 * The command used for the main view. Note, you must always specify
573 * the option: `--pretty=raw` since the main view parser expects to
577 #define TIG_DIFF_CMD \

598 * tig(1) presents various 'views' of a repository. Each view is based on output
599 * from an external command, most often 'git log', 'git diff', or 'git show'.
602 * Is the default view, and it shows a one line summary of each commit
603 * in the chosen list of revision. The summary includes commit date,
604 * author, and the first line of the log message. Additionally, any
605 * repository references, such as tags, will be shown.
608 * Presents a more rich view of the revision log showing the whole log
609 * message and the diffstat.
612 * Shows either the diff of the current working tree, that is, what
613 * has changed since the last commit, or the commit diff complete
614 * with log message, diffstat and diff.
617 * Is used for displaying both input from stdin and output from git
618 * commands entered in the internal prompt.
621 * Displays the information from the tig(1) man page. For the help view
622 * to work you need to have the tig(1) man page installed.

2137 * Revision specification
2138 * ----------------------
2139 * This section describes various ways to specify what revisions to display
2140 * or otherwise limit the view to. tig(1) does not itself parse the described
2141 * revision options so refer to the relevant git man pages for futher
2142 * information. Relevant man pages besides git-log(1) are git-diff(1) and
2145 * You can tune the interaction with git by making use of the options
2146 * explained in this section. For example, by configuring the environment
2147 * variables described in the <<view-commands, "View commands">> section.
2149 * Limit by path name
2150 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2151 * If you are interested only in those revisions that made changes to a
2152 * specific file (or even several files) list the files like this:
2154 * $ tig log Makefile
2156 * To avoid ambiguity with repository references such as tag name, be sure
2157 * to separate file names from other git options using "\--". So if you
2158 * have a file named 'master' it will clash with the reference named
2159 * 'master', and thus you will have to use:
2161 * $ tig log -- master
2163 * NOTE: For the main view, avoiding ambiguity will in some cases require
2164 * you to specify two "\--" options. The first will make tig(1) stop
2165 * option processing and the latter will be passed to git log.
2167 * Limit by date or number
2168 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2169 * To speed up interaction with git, you can limit the amount of commits
2170 * to show both for the log and main view. Either limit by date using
2171 * e.g. `--since=1.month` or limit by the number of commits using `-n400`.
2173 * If you are only interested in changed that happened between two dates
2176 * $ tig -- --after=May.5th --before=2006-05-16.15:44
2178 * NOTE: The dot (".") is used as a separator instead of a space to avoid
2179 * having to quote the option value. If you prefer use `--after="May 5th"`
2180 * instead of `--after="May 5th"`.
2182 * Limiting by commit ranges
2183 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2184 * Alternatively, commits can be limited to a specific range, such as
2185 * "all commits between 'tag-1.0' and 'tag-2.0'". For example:
2187 * $ tig log tag-1.0..tag-2.0
2189 * This way of commit limiting makes it trivial to only browse the commits
2190 * which haven't been pushed to a remote branch. Assuming 'origin' is your
2191 * upstream remote branch, using:
2193 * $ tig log origin..HEAD
2195 * will list what will be pushed to the remote branch. Optionally, the ending
2196 * 'HEAD' can be left out since it is implied.
2198 * Limiting by reachability
2199 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2200 * Git interprets the range specifier "tag-1.0..tag-2.0" as
2201 * "all commits reachable from 'tag-2.0' but not from 'tag-1.0'".
2202 * Where reachability refers to what commits are ancestors (or part of the
2203 * history) of the branch or tagged revision in question.
2205 * If you prefer to specify which commit to preview in this way use the
2208 * $ tig log tag-2.0 ^tag-1.0
2210 * You can think of '^' as a negation operator. Using this alternate syntax,
2211 * it is possible to further prune commits by specifying multiple branch
2214 * Combining revisions specification
2215 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2216 * Revisions options can to some degree be combined, which makes it possible
2217 * to say "show at most 20 commits from within the last month that changed
2218 * files under the Documentation/ directory."
2220 * $ tig -- --since=1.month -n20 -- Documentation/
2222 * Examining all repository references
2223 * ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
2224 * In some cases, it can be useful to query changes across all references
2225 * in a repository. An example is to ask "did any line of development in
2226 * this repository change a particular file within the last week". This
2227 * can be accomplished using:
2229 * $ tig -- --all --since=1.week -- Makefile
2233 * Known bugs and problems:
2235 * - If the screen width is very small the main view can draw
2236 * outside the current view causing bad wrapping. Same goes
2237 * for title and status windows.
2241 * Features that should be explored.
