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-rev-graph = yes # Show revision graph?
46 set line-number-interval = 5 # Interval between line numbers
47 set tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces pr tab
48 set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding
49 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
51 The type of variables are either bool, int, and string.
55 To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes".
56 Any other value will set the variable to false.
60 A non-negative integer.
64 A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters.
69 The following variables can be set:
71 'show-rev-graph' (bool)::
73 Show revision graph in the main view on start-up. Can be toggled with
76 'line-number-interval' (int)::
78 Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line
79 numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option. The default is to
84 Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces.
86 'commit-encoding' (string)::
88 The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option
89 is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`.
95 Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given
96 key map. The syntax is:
99 ..............................................................................
100 *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action'
101 ..............................................................................
105 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
107 bind main w scroll-line-up
108 bind main s scroll-line-down
109 bind main space enter
112 bind diff b move-first-line
113 # 'unbind' the default quit key binding
115 --------------------------------------------------------------------------
117 Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then
118 the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings.
119 Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the
120 built-in keybindings.
126 Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*,
127 and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps.
131 Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the
132 following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use
133 *Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment
136 *Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*,
137 *Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*,
138 *F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*.
142 Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are
143 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
144 e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same.

245 Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your
246 terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and
247 background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be given
248 as the last parameter. The syntax is:
251 ..............................................................................
252 *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]'
253 ..............................................................................

259 color diff-header yellow default

263 color cursor red default underline
265 color title-blur white blue
266 color title-focus white blue bold

271 Valid area names are described below. Note, all names are
272 case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably,
273 e.g. "Diff-Header", "DIFF_HEADER", and "diff.header" are the same.
277 Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*,
278 *cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the
279 default terminal colors.
283 Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*,
284 *standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported
293 Status window colors::
295 Appearance of the bottom window showing info messages.
299 Title window colors::
301 Appearance of the title windows when they are attached
302 to any backgrounded windows and the current window.
304 *title-blur*, *title-focus*
312 Appearance of the various columns in the main view, including the '~' used for
313 delimiting long author names and labels for tag and branch references.
315 *main-date*, *main-author*, *main-commit*, *main-delim*, *main-tag*,
316 *main-ref*, *main-remote*
323 The colors and attributes for text that is not highlighted can be controlled
324 by changing the *default* color option.
330 Options concerning diff start, chunks and lines added and deleted.
332 *diff-header*, *diff-chunk*, *diff-add*, *diff-del*
334 Enhanced git diff markup::
336 Extra diff information emitted by the git diff machinery, such as mode
337 changes, rename detection, and similarity.
339 *diff-oldmode*, *diff-newmode*, *diff-copy-from*, *diff-copy-to*,
340 *diff-rename-from*, *diff-rename-to*, *diff-similarity* *diff-dissimilarity*
341 *diff-tree*, *diff-index*
343 Pretty print commit headers::
345 Commit diffs and the revision logs are usually formatted using pretty printed
346 headers , unless `--pretty=raw` was given. This includes lines, such as merge
347 info, commit ID, and author and committer date.
349 *pp-author*, *pp-commit*, *pp-merge*, *pp-date*, *pp-adate*, *pp-cdate*
353 Usually shown when `--pretty=raw` is given, however 'commit' is pretty much
356 *commit*, *parent*, *tree*, *author*, *committer*
360 For now only `Signed-off-by` and `Acked-by` lines are colorized.
