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
38 ..............................................................................
39 *set* variables *=* value
40 ..............................................................................
44 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
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 line-number-interval = 5 # Interval between line numbers
51 set tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces per tab
52 set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding
53 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
55 The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.
59 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
60 Any other value will set the variable to false.
64 A non-negative integer.
68 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
73 The following variables can be set:
75 'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
77 Show revision graph in the main view on start-up. Can be toggled with
80 'line-number-interval' (int)::
82 Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line
83 numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option. The default is to
88 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
90 'commit-encoding' (string)::
92 The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
93 is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`.
99 Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
100 key map. The syntax is:
103 ..............................................................................
104 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
105 ..............................................................................
109 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
111 bind main w scroll-line-up
112 bind main s scroll-line-down
113 bind main space enter
116 bind diff b move-first-line
117 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
119 # An external command to update from upstream
120 bind generic F !git fetch
121 # Cherry-pick current commit unto current branch
122 bind generic C !git cherry-pick %(commit)
123 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
125 Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
126 the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
127 Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
128 built-in keybindings.
134 Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
135 and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
139 Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
140 following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use
141 *Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment
144 *Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*,
145 *Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*,
146 *F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*.
150 Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
151 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
152 e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.
159 Apart from the action names listed below, all actions starting with a '!' will
160 be available as an external command. External commands can contain variable
161 names that will be substituted before the command is run. Valid variable names
162 are "%(head)", "%(commit)", and "%(blob)".
164 As an example, the following external command will save the current commit as
165 a patch file: "!git format-patch %(commit)^..%(commit)".

264 Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
265 terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
266 background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be
267 given as the last parameter. The syntax is:
270 ..............................................................................
271 *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
272 ..............................................................................

277 # Overwrite the default terminal colors to white on black.

284 color cursor red default underline
286 color title-blur white blue

292 Valid area names are described below. Note, all names are
293 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
294 e.g. "Diff-Header", "DIFF_HEADER", and "diff.header" are the same.
298 Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*,
299 *cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the
300 default terminal colors.
304 Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*,
305 *standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported
313 Default terminal colors::
315 The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or
316 that specify the use of the default terminal colors can be controlled by
317 setting the *default* color option.
319 Use the *default* color to use the colors configured for the terminal. This is
320 the default and recommended if you are using a terminal with a transparent
323 Status window colors::
325 Appearance of the bottom window showing info messages.
329 Title window colors::
331 Appearance of the title windows when they are attached
332 to any backgrounded windows and the current window.
334 *title-blur*, *title-focus*
342 Appearance of the various columns in the main view, including the '~' used for
343 delimiting long author names and labels for tag and branch references.

368 *diff-tree*, *diff-index*
370 Pretty print commit headers::
372 Commit diffs and the revision logs are usually formatted using pretty printed
373 headers , unless `--pretty=raw` was given. This includes lines, such as merge
374 info, commit ID, and author and committer date.
376 *pp-author*, *pp-commit*, *pp-merge*, *pp-date*, *pp-adate*, *pp-cdate*,
