NAME

tigrc - tig 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.

Alternatively, 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.

SET COMMAND

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

Examples:

 set show-author = yes           # Show author?
 set show-rev-graph = yes        # Show revision graph?
 set show-refs = yes             # Show references?
 set show-line-numbers = no      # Show line numbers?
 set line-number-interval = 5    # Interval between line numbers
 set commit-encoding = "UTF-8"   # Commit encoding
 set horizontal-scroll = 33%     # Scroll 33% of the view width
 

Or in the git configuration files:

 [tig]
         show-date = yes         # Show commit date?
         author-width = 10       # Set width of the author column
         line-graphics = no      # Disable graphics characters
         tab-size = 8            # Number of spaces per tab
 

The type of variables are 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:

show-author (bool), show-date (bool), show-rev-graph (bool), show-refs (bool)

Whether to show author, date, revision graph, and references (branches, tags, and remotes) in the main view on start-up. Can all be toggled.

author-width (int)

Width of the author column. When set to 5 or below, the author name will be abbreviated to the author's initials.

line-graphics (bool)

Whether to use graphic characters for line drawing.

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.

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.

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
 # An external command to update from upstream
 bind generic F !git fetch
 

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 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.

Actions

Apart from the action names listed below, all actions starting with a ! will be available as an external command. External commands can contain variable names that will be substituted before the command is run. Valid variable names are:

Browsing state variables

 %(head)                 The currently viewed 'head' ID. Defaults to HEAD
 %(commit)               The currently selected commit ID.
 %(blob)                 The currently selected blob ID.
 %(directory)            The current directory path in the tree view; \
                         empty for the root directory.
 %(file)                 The currently selected file.
 %(ref)                  The reference given to blame or HEAD if undefined.
 

As an example, the following external command will save the current commit as a patch file: "!git format-patch -1 %(commit)". If your external command require use of dynamic features, such as subshells, expansion of environment variables and process control, this can be achieved 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:

 [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

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:

 # Overwrite 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
 

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
 

Area names

Valid area names are described below. Note, all names are case-insensitive, and you may use -, _, and . interchangeably, e.g. "Diff-Header", "DIFF_HEADER", and "diff.header" are the same.

Color names

Valid colors include: white, black, green, magenta, blue, cyan, yellow, red, default. Use default to refer to the default terminal colors. This is recommended for background colors if you are using a terminal with a transparent background.
Colors can also be specified using the keywords color0, color1, ..., colorN-1 (N being 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 256-color terminals.

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.

pp-author, pp-commit, pp-merge, pp-date, pp-adate, pp-cdate, pp-refs

Raw commit header

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