7 tigrc - Tig configuration file
13 _______________________________________________________________________
14 *set* 'variable' *=* 'value'
15 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
16 *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
18 _______________________________________________________________________
24 You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. The
25 file consists of a series of 'commands'. Each line of the file may contain
26 only one command. Commands can span multiple lines if each line is
27 terminated by a backslash ('\') character.
29 The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the
30 comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to
31 annotate your initialization file.
33 Certain options can be manipulated at runtime via the option menu. In
34 addition, options can also be toggled with the `:toggle` prompt command
35 or by entering the configuration command into the prompt.
40 Alternatively to using `~/.tigrc`, Tig options can be set by putting them in
41 one of the Git configuration files, which are read by Tig on startup. See
42 'git-config(1)' for which files to use. The following example show the basic
43 syntax to use for settings, bindings and colors.
46 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
47 [tig] show-changes = true
48 [tig "color"] cursor = yellow red bold
49 [tig "bind"] generic = P parent
50 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
52 In addition to tig-specific options, the following Git options are read from
53 the Git configuration:
57 Colors for the various UI types. Can be configured via the 'git-colors'
62 The width of the commit ID. See also 'id-width' option.
66 The editor command. Can be overridden by setting GIT_EDITOR.
70 The path to the root of the working tree.
74 The encoding to use for displaying of file content.
76 'i18n.commitencoding'::
78 The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8.
83 A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax
87 *set* variables *=* value
92 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
93 set commit-order = topo # Order commits topologically
94 set git-colors = no # Do not read Git's color settings.
95 set horizontal-scroll = 33% # Scroll 33% of the view width
96 set blame-options = -C -C -C # Blame lines from other files
98 # Wrap branch names with () and tags with <>
99 set reference-format = (branch) <tag>
101 # Configure blame view columns using command spanning multiple lines.
107 line-number:yes,interval=5 text
108 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
110 Or in the Git configuration files:
113 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
115 line-graphics = no # Disable graphics characters
116 tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces per tab
117 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
119 The type of variables is either bool, int, string, or mixed.
123 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
124 Any other value will set the variable to false.
128 A non-negative integer.
130 Valid string values::
132 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
136 These values are composites of the above types. The valid values are
137 specified in the description.
142 The following variables can be set:
144 'diff-options' (string)::
146 A space separated string of diff options to use in the diff view.
147 git-show(1) is used for formatting and always passes --patch-with-stat.
148 This option overrides any options specified in the TIG_DIFF_OPTS
149 environment variable (described in manpage:tig[1]), but is itself
150 overridden by diff flags given on the command line invocation.
152 'blame-options' (string)::
154 A space separated string of default blame options. Can be used for
155 telling git-blame(1) how to detect the origin of lines. The options
156 are ignored when Tig is started in blame mode and given blame options
159 'log-options' (string)::
161 A space separated string of default options that should be passed to the
162 git-log(1) command used by the log view. Options can be overridden by
163 command line options. Used internally override custom `pretty.format'
164 settings that break the log view.
166 'main-options' (string)::
168 A space separated string of default options that should be passed to the
169 git-log(1) command used by the main view. Options can be overridden by
170 command line options.
172 'reference-format' (string)::
174 A space separated string of format strings used for formatting reference
175 names. Wrap the name of the reference type with the characters you would
176 like to use for formatting, e.g. `[tag]` and `<remote>`. If no format is
177 specified for `local-tag`, the format for `tag` is used. Similarly, if no
178 format is specified for `tracked-remote` the `remote` format is used.
179 Prefix with `hide:` to not show that reference type, e.g. `hide:remote`.
180 Supported reference types are:
181 - head : The current HEAD.
182 - tag : A signed tag.
183 - local-tag : An unsigned tag.
185 - tracked-remote : The remote tracked by current HEAD.
186 - replace : A replaced reference.
187 - branch : Any other reference.
189 'line-graphics' (mixed) [ascii|default|utf-8|<bool>]::
191 What type of character graphics for line drawing.
193 'horizontal-scroll' (mixed)::
195 Interval to scroll horizontally in each step. Can be specified either
196 as the number of columns, e.g. '5', or as a percentage of the view
197 width, e.g. '33%', where the maximum is 100%. For percentages it is
198 always ensured that at least one column is scrolled. The default is to
199 scroll '50%' of the view width.
201 'git-colors' (list)::
203 A space separated list of "key=value" pairs where the key is a Git color
204 name and the value is a Tig color name, e.g. "branch.current=main-head"
205 and "grep.filename=grep.file". Set to "no" to disable.
207 'show-notes' (mixed) [<reference>|<bool>]::
209 Whether to show notes for a commit. When set to a note reference the
210 reference is passed to `git show --notes=`. Notes are enabled by
213 'show-changes' (bool)::
215 Whether to show staged and unstaged changes in the main view.
217 'vertical-split' (mixed) [auto|<bool>]::
219 Whether to split the view horizontally or vertically.
220 "auto" (which is the default) means that it will depend on the window
221 dimensions. When true vertical orientation is used, and false sets the
222 orientation to horizontal.
224 'split-view-height' (mixed)::
226 The height of the bottom view in a horizontally split display. Can be
227 specified either as the number of rows, e.g. '5', or as a percentage of
228 the view height, e.g. '80%', where the maximum is 100%. It is always
229 ensured that the smaller of the views is at least four rows high. The
232 'split-view-width' (mixed)::
234 Width of the right-most view in a vertically split display. Can be
235 specified either as the number of column, e.g. '5', or as a percentage
236 of the view width, e.g. '80%', where the maximum is 100%. It is always
237 ensured that the smaller of the views is at least four columns wide. The
240 'status-untracked-dirs' (bool)::
242 Show untracked directories contents in the status view (analog to
243 `git ls-files --directory` option). On by default.
247 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
249 'diff-context' (int)::
251 Number of context lines to show for diffs.
253 'ignore-space' (mixed) [no|all|some|at-eol|<bool>]::
255 Ignore space changes in diff view. By default no space changes are
256 ignored. Changing this to "all", "some" or "at-eol" is equivalent to
257 passing "--ignore-all-space", "--ignore-space" or
258 "--ignore-space-at-eol" respectively to `git diff` or `git show`.
260 'commit-order' (enum) [auto|default|topo|date|author-date|reverse]::
262 Commit ordering using the default (chronological reverse) order,
263 topological order, date order or reverse order. When set to "auto"
264 (which is the default), topological order is automatically used in the
265 main view when the commit graph is enabled. In repositories with a long
266 commit history it is advised to set this option to "default" to speed up
267 loading of the main view.
269 'ignore-case' (bool)::
271 Ignore case in searches. By default, the search is case sensitive.
275 Read canonical name and email addresses for authors and committers from
276 `.mailmap`. Off by default. See `git-shortlog(1)`.
278 'wrap-lines' (bool)::
280 Wrap long lines. By default, lines are not wrapped.
281 Not compatible with line numbers enabled.
283 'focus-child' (bool)::
285 Whether to focus the child view when it is opened. When disabled the
286 focus will remain in the parent view, avoiding reloads of the child
287 view when navigating the parent view. True by default.
289 'editor-line-number' (bool)::
291 Whether to pass the selected line number to the editor command. The
292 line number is passed as `+<line-number>` in front of the file name.
293 Example: `vim +10 tig.c`
297 Whether to enable mouse support. Off by default since it makes selecting
298 text from the terminal less intuitive. When enabled hold down Shift (or
299 Option on Mac) to select text. Mouse support requires that ncurses
300 itself support mouse events.
302 'mouse-scroll' (int)::
304 Interval to scroll up or down using the mouse. The default is 3 lines.
305 Mouse support requires that ncurses itself support mouse events and that
306 you have enabled mouse support in ~/.tigrc with `set mouse = true`.
308 'refresh-mode' (mixed) [manual|auto|after-command|periodic|<bool>]::
310 Configures how views are refreshed based on modifications to watched
311 files in the repository. When set to 'manual', nothing is refreshed
312 automatically. When set to 'auto', views are refreshed when a
313 modification is detected. When set to 'after-command' only refresh after
314 returning from an external command. When set to 'periodic', visible
315 views are refreshed periodically using 'refresh-interval'.
317 'refresh-interval' (int)::
319 Interval in seconds between view refresh update checks when
320 'refresh-mode' is set to 'periodic'.
324 Command line arguments referring to files. These are filtered using
329 Command line arguments referring to revisions. These are filtered using
332 'cmdline-args' (args)::
334 All remaining command line arguments that are not either filtered into
335 'file-args' or 'rev-args'.
340 The view settings define the order and options for the different columns of a
341 view. Each view setting expects a space separated list of column specifications.
342 Column specifications starts with the column type, and can optionally be
343 followed by a colon (`:`) and a list of column options. E.g. the following
344 column specification defines an 'author' column displaying the author email and
345 with a maximum width of 20 characters: `author:email,width=20`.
347 The first option value in a column specification is always the 'display' option.
348 When no 'display' value is given, 'yes' is assumed. For 'display' options
349 expecting an enumerated value this will automatically resolve to the default
350 enum value. For example, `file-name` will automatically have its 'display'
351 setting resolve to 'auto'.
353 Specifications can also be given for a single column, for example to override
354 the defaults in the system tigrc file. To override a single column, use the
355 column name as a suffix after the view setting name, e.g. `main-view-date` will
356 allow to set the date in the main view.
360 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
361 # Enable both ID and line numbers in the blame view
362 set blame-view = date:default author:full file-name:auto id:yes,color \
363 line-number:yes,interval=5 text
365 # Change grep view to be similar to `git grep` format
366 set grep-view = file-name:yes line-number:yes,interval=1 text
368 # Show file sizes as units
369 set tree-view = line-number:no,interval=5 mode author:full \
370 file-size:units date:default id:no file-name
372 # Show line numbers for every 10th line in the pager view
373 set pager-view = line-number:yes,interval=10 text
375 # Shorthands to change view settings for a previously defined column
376 set main-view-date = short
377 set blame-view-line-number = no
378 # Use Git's default commit order, even when the commit graph is enabled.
379 set commit-order = default
380 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
382 The following list shows which the available view settings and what column types
385 blob-view, diff-view, log-view, pager-view, stage-view:: line-number, text
386 blame-view:: author, date, file-name, id, line-number, text
387 grep-view:: file-name, line-number, text
388 main-view:: author, date, commit-title, id, line-number
389 refs-view:: author, date, commit-title, id, line-number, ref
390 stash-view:: author, date, commit-title, id, line-number
391 status-view:: file-name, line-number, status
392 tree-view:: author, date, id, file-name, file-size, line-number, mode
394 Supported column types and their respective column options:
398 - 'display' (mixed) [full|abbreviated|email|email-user|<bool>]: How to
399 display author names. If set to "abbreviated" author initials will be
401 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to a value between 1 and
402 10, the author name will be abbreviated to the author's initials.
403 When set to zero, the width is automatically sized to fit the content.
406 - 'graph' (mixed) [no|v2|v1]: Whether to show the revision graph in the
407 main view on start-up. "v1" refers to the old graph rendering, which
408 is less accurate but faster and thus recommended in large
409 repositories. See also the 'line-graphics' options.
410 - 'refs' (bool): Whether to show references (branches, tags, and
411 remotes) in the main view. Can be toggled.
412 - 'overflow' (bool or int): Whether to highlight text in commit titles
413 exceeding a given width. When set to a boolean, it enables or disables
414 the highlighting using the default width of 50 character. When set to
415 an int, the assigned value is used as the maximum character width.
418 - 'display' (mixed) [relative|short|default|local|<bool>]: How to
419 display dates. If set to "relative" a relative date will be used, e.g.
420 "2 minutes ago". If set to "short" no time information is shown. If
421 set to "local", localtime(3) is used.
422 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
423 automatically sized to fit the content.
426 - 'display' (mixed) [auto|always|<bool>]: When to display file names.
427 If set to "auto" file names are shown only when needed, e.g. when
428 running: tig blame -C <file>.
429 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
430 automatically sized to fit the content.
433 - 'display' (mixed) [default|units|<bool>]: How to display file sizes.
434 When set to "units", sizes are shown using binary prefixes, e.g. 12524
435 bytes is shown as "12.2K".
436 - 'width' (int): Width of the filename column. When set to zero, the
437 width is automatically sized to fit the content.
440 - 'display' (bool): Whether to show commit IDs in the main view.
441 - 'width' (int) : Width of the commit ID. When unset Tig will use the
442 value of 'core.abbrev' if found. See git-config(1) on how to set
443 'core.abbrev'. When set to zero the width is automatically sized to
444 fit the content of reflog (e.g. `ref/stash@{4}`) IDs and otherwise
448 - 'display' (bool): Whether to show line numbers.
449 - 'interval' (int): Interval between line numbers.
450 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
451 automatically sized to fit the content.
454 - 'display' (bool): Whether to show file modes.
455 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
456 automatically sized to fit the content.
459 - 'display' (bool): Whether to show the reference name.
460 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
461 automatically sized to fit the content.
464 - 'display' (mixed) [no|short|long|<bool>]: How to display the status
466 - 'width' (int): Width of the column. When set to zero, the width is
467 automatically sized to fit the content.
470 - 'commit-title-overflow' (bool or int): Whether to highlight commit
471 titles exceeding a given width in the diff view. When set to a
472 boolean, it enables or disables the highlighting using the default
473 width of 50 character. When set to an int, the assigned value is used
474 as the maximum character width.
476 All column options can be toggled. For 'display' options, use the
477 option name as the prefix followed by a dash and the column name. E.g.
478 `:toggle author-display` will toggle the 'display' option in the 'author'
479 column. For all other options use the column name followed by a dash and
480 then the option name as the suffix. E.g. `:toggle commit-title-graph`
481 will toggle the 'graph' option in the 'commit-title' column. Alternatively,
482 use the option menu to manipulate options.
487 Using bind commands, keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
488 key map. The syntax is:
491 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
495 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
496 # Add keybinding to quickly jump to the next diff chunk in the stage view
497 bind stage <Enter> :/^@@
499 # Disable the default mapping for running git-gc
502 # User-defined external command to amend the last commit
503 bind status + !git commit --amend
505 # User-defined internal command that reloads ~/.tigrc
506 bind generic S :source ~/.tigrc
508 # UTF8-encoded characters can be used as key values.
509 bind generic ø @sh -c "printf '%s' %(commit) | pbcopy"
510 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
512 Or in the Git configuration files:
514 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
516 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
518 # Cherry-pick current commit onto current branch
519 generic = C !git cherry-pick %(commit)
520 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
522 Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
523 the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
524 Thus, the view keybindings override the generic keybindings which override the
525 built-in keybindings.
531 Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
532 *tree*, *blob*, *blame*, *refs*, *stash*, *grep* and *generic*. Use *generic*
533 to set key mapping in all keymaps. Use *search* to define keys for navigating
534 search results during search.
538 Key values should never be quoted. Use either an ASCII or UTF8-encoded character
539 or one of the following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case
540 insensitive and starts with "<" and ends with ">". Use *<Hash>* to bind to the
541 `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment character. Use *<LessThan>* to
544 *<Enter>*, *<Space>*, *<Backspace>*, *<Tab>*, *<Escape>* or *<Esc>*, *<Left>*,
545 *<Right>*, *<Up>*, *<Down>*, *<Insert>* or *<Ins>*, *<Delete>* or *<Del>*,
546 *<Hash>*, *<LessThan>* or *<LT>*, *<Home>*, *<End>*, *<PageUp>* or *<PgUp>*,
547 *<PageDown>* or *<PgDown>*, *<F1>*, *<F2>*, *<F3>*, *<F4>*, *<F5>*, *<F6>*,
548 *<F7>*, *<F8>*, *<F9>*, *<F10>*, *<F11>*, *<F12>*.
550 To define key mappings with the `Ctrl` key, use `<Ctrl-key>`. In addition, key
551 combos consisting of an initial `Escape` key followed by a normal key value can
552 be bound using `<Esc>key`.
556 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
558 bind main <Down> next
559 bind main <Ctrl-f> scroll-page-down
560 bind main <Esc>o options
561 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
563 Note that due to the way ncurses encodes `Ctrl` key mappings, `Ctrl-m` and
564 `Ctrl-i` cannot be bound as they conflict with 'Enter' and 'Tab' respectively.
565 Furthermore, ncurses does not allow to distinguish between `Ctrl-f` and
566 `Ctrl-F`. Finally, `Ctrl-z` is automatically used for process control and will
567 suspend Tig and open a subshell (use `fg` to reenter Tig).
571 Actions are either specified as user-defined commands (external or internal) or
572 using action names as described in the following sections.
576 External user-defined command
577 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
579 These actions start with one or more of the following option flags followed by
580 the command that should be executed.
582 [frame="none",grid="none",cols="25<m,75<"]
583 |=============================================================================
584 |! |Run the command in the foreground with output shown.
585 |@ |Run the command in the background with no output.
586 |? |Prompt the user before executing the command.
587 |< |Exit Tig after executing the command.
588 |=============================================================================
590 Unless otherwise specified, commands are run in the foreground with their
591 console output shown (as if '!' was specified). When multiple command options
592 are specified their behavior are combined, e.g. "?<git commit" will prompt the
593 user whether to execute the command and will exit Tig after completion.
595 Browsing state variables
596 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
598 User-defined commands can optionally refer to Tig's internal state using the
599 following variable names, which are substituted before commands are run:
601 [frame="none",grid="none",cols="25<m,75<"]
602 |=============================================================================
603 |%(head) |The currently viewed 'head' ID. Defaults to HEAD
604 |%(commit) |The currently selected commit ID.
605 |%(blob) |The currently selected blob ID.
606 |%(branch) |The currently selected branch name.
607 |%(remote) |The currently selected remote name. For remote
608 branches %(branch) will contain the branch name.
609 |%(tag) |The currently selected tag name.
610 |%(stash) |The currently selected stash name.
611 |%(directory) |The current directory path in the tree view or
613 |%(file) |The currently selected file.
614 |%(lineno) |The currently selected line number. Defaults to 0.
615 |%(ref) |The reference given to blame or HEAD if undefined.
616 |%(revargs) |The revision arguments passed on the command line.
617 |%(fileargs) |The file arguments passed on the command line.
618 |%(cmdlineargs) |All other options passed on the command line.
619 |%(diffargs) |Options from 'diff-options' or 'TIG_DIFF_OPTS' used
620 used by the diff view.
621 |%(blameargs) |Options from 'blame-options' used by the blame view.
622 |%(logargs) |Options from 'log-options' used by the log view.
623 |%(mainargs) |Options from 'main-options' used by the main view.
624 |%(prompt) |Prompt for the argument value. Optionally specify a
625 custom prompt using `"%(prompt Enter branch name: )"`
626 |%(repo:head) |The name of the checked out branch, e.g. `master`
627 |%(repo:head-id) |The commit ID of the checked out branch.
628 |%(repo:remote) |The remote associated with the checked out branch,
629 e.g. `origin/master`.
630 |%(repo:cdup) |The path to change directory to the repository root,
632 |%(repo:prefix) |The path prefix of the current work directory,
634 |%(repo:git-dir) |The path to the Git directory, e.g. `/src/repo/.git`.
635 |%(repo:is-inside-work-tree)
636 |Whether Tig is running inside a work tree,
637 either `true` or `false`.
638 |=============================================================================
642 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
643 # Save save the current commit as a patch file when the user selects a
644 # commit in the main view and presses 'S'.
645 bind main S !git format-patch -1 %(commit)
647 # Create and checkout a new branch; specify custom prompt
648 bind main B ?git checkout -b "%(prompt Enter new branch name: )"
649 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
651 Advanced shell-like commands
652 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
654 If your command requires use of dynamic features, such as subshells,
655 expansion of environment variables and process control, this can be achieved by
656 using a shell command:
658 .Configure a binding to copy the current commit ID to the clipboard.
660 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
661 bind generic I @sh -c "echo -n %(commit) | xclip -selection c"
662 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
664 Or by using a combination of Git aliases and Tig external commands. The
665 following example entries can be put in either the .gitconfig or .git/config
668 .Git configuration which binds Tig keys to Git command aliases.
670 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
672 gitk-bg = !"gitk HEAD --not $(git rev-parse --remotes) &"
673 publish = !"for i in origin public; do git push $i; done"
675 # @-prefix means that the console output will not be shown.
676 generic = V !@git gitk-bg
677 generic = > !git publish
678 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
680 Internal user-defined commands
681 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
683 Actions beginning with a ':' will be run and interpreted as internal commands

710 Similar to external commands, pager view commands can contain variable names
711 that will be substituted before the command is run.
716 Valid action names are described below. Note, all action names are
717 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably, e.g.
718 "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.

828 Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
829 terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
830 background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be
831 given as the last parameter. The syntax is:
834 *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
838 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
839 # Override the default terminal colors to white on black.
840 color default white black
842 color diff-header yellow default

869 Valid built-in area names are described below. Note, all names are
870 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', and '_' interchangeably,
871 e.g. "Diff-Header" and "DIFF_HEADER" are the same.
872 View specific colors can be defined by prefixing the view name to
873 the area name, e.g. "stage.diff-chunk" and "diff.diff-chunk".
877 Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*,
878 *cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the
879 default terminal colors, for example, to keep the background
880 transparent when you are using a terminal with a transparent
883 Colors can also be specified using the keywords *color0*, *color1*, ...,
884 *colorN-1* (where *N* is the number of colors supported by your terminal).
885 This is useful when you remap the colors for your display or want to enable
886 colors supported by 88-color and 256-color terminals. Note that the 'color'
887 prefix is optional. If you prefer, you can specify colors directly by their
888 numbers *0*, *1*, ..., *N-1* instead, just like in the configuration file of
893 Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*,
894 *standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported
900 The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or
901 that specify the use of the default terminal colors can be controlled by
902 setting the *default* color option.
