Tig

Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly as a Git repository browser.

When to Use

  • Log Browsing: tig shows the commit graph beautifully in the terminal.
  • Blame: tig blame file.txt is faster than any GUI.
  • Staging: tig status allows staging files quickly.

Core Concepts

Views

  • Main: Commit graph.
  • Diff: View changes.
  • Blame: Who changed what.

Navigation

Vim-like bindings (j, k) to scroll. Enter to drill down.

Best Practices (2025)

Do:

  • Use as Pager: Set git config --global core.pager "tig" (optional, but powerful).
  • Quick Blame: Use it to find who broke the build in seconds.

Don't:

  • Don't use for complex writes: Lazygit is better for rebasing/ops. Tig is better for reading.
