22 You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. The
23 file consists of a series of 'commands'. Each line of the file may contain
26 The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the
27 comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to
28 annotate your initialization file.
34 A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax

45 set show-author = yes # Show author?
46 set show-date = yes # Show commit date?
47 set show-rev-graph = yes # Show revision graph?
48 set show-refs = yes # Show references?
49 set show-line-numbers = no # Show line numbers?
50 set author-width = 10 # Set width of the author column
51 set line-graphics = no # Disable graphics characters
52 set line-number-interval = 5 # Interval between line numbers
53 set tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces per tab
54 set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding
55 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
57 The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.
61 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
62 Any other value will set the variable to false.
66 A non-negative integer.
70 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
75 The following variables can be set:
77 'show-author' (bool)::
79 'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
82 Whether to show author, date, revision graph, and references
83 (branches, tags, and remotes) in the main view on start-up. Can all be
86 'author-width' (int)::
88 Width of the author column.
90 'line-graphics' (bool)::
92 Whether to use graphic characters for line drawing.
94 'line-number-interval' (int)::
96 Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line
97 numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option. The default is to
102 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
104 'commit-encoding' (string)::
106 The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
107 is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`.
113 Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
114 key map. The syntax is:
117 ..............................................................................
118 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
119 ..............................................................................
123 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
125 bind main w scroll-line-up
126 bind main s scroll-line-down
127 bind main space enter
130 bind diff b move-first-line
131 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
133 # An external command to update from upstream
134 bind generic F !git fetch
135 # Cherry-pick current commit unto current branch
136 bind generic C !git cherry-pick %(commit)
137 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
139 Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
140 the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
141 Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
142 built-in keybindings.
148 Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
149 and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
153 Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
154 following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use
155 *Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment
158 *Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*,
159 *Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*,
160 *F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*.
164 Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
165 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
166 e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.
173 Apart from the action names listed below, all actions starting with a '!' will
174 be available as an external command. External commands can contain variable
175 names that will be substituted before the command is run. Valid variable names
176 are "%(head)", "%(commit)", and "%(blob)".
178 As an example, the following external command will save the current commit as
179 a patch file: "!git format-patch %(commit)^..%(commit)".

281 Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
282 terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
283 background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be
284 given as the last parameter. The syntax is:

315 Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*,
316 *cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the
317 default terminal colors. This is recommended for background colors
318 if you are using a terminal with a transparent background.
322 Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*,
323 *standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported
329 The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or
