1 Tig: text-mode interface for git
2 ================================
4 Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output

7 When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present the
8 user with various views, such as summarized revision log and showing the commit
9 with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.
11 Using it as a pager, it will display input from stdin and colorize it.
