+
'commit-encoding' (string)::
The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
bind diff a previous
bind diff d next
bind diff b move-first-line
-# 'unbind' the default quit key binding
-bind main Q none
# An external command to update from upstream
bind generic F !git fetch
-# Cherry-pick current commit unto current branch
-bind generic C !git cherry-pick %(commit)
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+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
Keymaps::
Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
-and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
+*tree*, *blob*, *blame*, *branch*, and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key
+mapping in all keymaps.
Key values::
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 "%(head)", "%(commit)", and "%(blob)".
+are:
+
+ifdef::backend-xhtml11[]

+endif::backend-xhtml11[]
+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 %(commit)^..%(commit)".
+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
