1 Tig: text-mode interface for git
2 ================================
4 Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output
5 of various git commands.
7 When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present the
8 user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the commit
9 with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.
