tigrc(5) ======== NAME ---- tigrc - tig user configuration file SYNOPSIS -------- [verse] ............................................................................. *set* 'variable' *=* 'value' *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action' *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]' ............................................................................. DESCRIPTION ----------- You can permanently set an option by putting it in the `~/.tigrc` file. The file consists of a series of 'commands'. Each line of the file may contain only one command. The hash mark ('#') is used as a 'comment' character. All text after the comment character to the end of the line is ignored. You can use comments to annotate your initialization file. Set command ----------- A few selective variables can be configured via the set command. The syntax is: [verse] .............................................................................. *set* variables *=* value .............................................................................. Examples: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- set show-author = yes # Show author? set show-date = yes # Show commit date? set show-rev-graph = yes # Show revision graph? set show-refs = yes # Show references? set show-line-numbers = no # Show line numbers? set author-width = 10 # Set width of the author column set line-graphics = no # Disable graphics characters set line-number-interval = 5 # Interval between line numbers set tab-size = 8 # Number of spaces per tab set encoding = "UTF-8" # Commit encoding -------------------------------------------------------------------------- The type of variables are either bool, int, and string. Valid bool values:: To set a bool variable to true use either "1", "true", or "yes". Any other value will set the variable to false. Valid int values:: A non-negative integer. Valid string values:: A string of characters. Optionally, use either ' or " as delimiters. Variables ~~~~~~~~~ The following variables can be set: 'show-author' (bool):: 'show-date' (bool):: 'show-rev-graph' (bool):: 'show-refs' (bool):: Whether to show author, date, revision graph, and references (branches, tags, and remotes) in the main view on start-up. Can all be toggled. 'author-width' (int):: Width of the author column. 'line-graphics' (bool):: Whether to use graphic characters for line drawing. 'line-number-interval' (int):: Interval between line numbers. Note, you have to toggle on line numbering with 'n' or the `-n` command line option. The default is to number every line. 'tab-size' (int):: Number of spaces per tab. The default is 8 spaces. 'commit-encoding' (string):: The encoding used for commits. The default is UTF-8. Not this option is shadowed by the "i18n.commitencoding" option in `.git/config`. Bind command ------------ Using bind commands keys can be mapped to an action when pressed in a given key map. The syntax is: [verse] .............................................................................. *bind* 'keymap' 'key' 'action' .............................................................................. Examples: -------------------------------------------------------------------------- # A few keybindings bind main w scroll-line-up bind main s scroll-line-down bind main space enter 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 onto current branch bind generic C !git cherry-pick %(commit) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Keys are mapped by first searching the keybindings for the current view, then the keybindings for the *generic* keymap, and last the default keybindings. Thus, the view keybindings shadow the generic keybindings which Shadow the built-in keybindings. -- Keymaps:: Valid keymaps are: *main*, *diff*, *log*, *help*, *pager*, *status*, *stage*, and *generic*. Use *generic* to set key mapping in all keymaps. Key values:: Key values should never be quoted. Use either the ASCII value or one of the following symbolic key names. Symbolic key names are case insensitive, Use *Hash* to bind to the `#` key, since the hash mark is used as a comment character. *Enter*, *Space*, *Backspace*, *Tab*, *Escape*, *Left*, *Right*, *Up*, *Down*, *Insert*, *Delete*, *Hash*, *Home*, *End*, *PageUp*, *PageDown*, *F1*, *F2*, *F3*, *F4*, *F5*, *F6*, *F7*, *F8*, *F9*, *F10*, *F11*, *F12*. Action names:: Valid action names are described below. Note, all names are case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably, e.g. "view-main", "View.Main", and "VIEW_MAIN" are the same. -- Actions ~~~~~~~ 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: ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- 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 -1 %(commit)". ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] View switching: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ view-main Show main view view-diff Show diff view view-log Show log view view-tree Show tree view view-blob Show blob view view-blame Show blame view view-status Show status view view-stage Show stage view view-pager Show pager view view-help Show help page ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] View manipulation: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ enter Enter current line and scroll next Move to next previous Move to previous view-next Move focus to next view refresh Reload and refresh view maximize Maximize the current view view-close Close the current view quit Close all views and quit ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Cursor navigation: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ move-up Move cursor one line up move-down Move cursor one line down move-page-down Move cursor one page down move-page-up Move cursor one page up move-first-line Move cursor to first line move-last-line Move cursor to last line ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Scrolling: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ scroll-line-up Scroll one line up scroll-line-down Scroll one line down scroll-page-eup Scroll one page up scroll-page-down Scroll one page down ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Searching: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ search Search the view search-back Search backwards in the view find-next Find next search match find-prev Find previous search match ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Misc: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ none Do nothing prompt Bring up the prompt screen-redraw Redraw the screen screen-resize Resize the screen show-version Show version information stop-loading Stop all loading views toggle-lineno Toggle line numbers toggle-date Toggle date display toggle-author Toggle author display toggle-rev-graph Toggle revision graph visualization toggle-refs Toggle reference display status-update Update file status status-merge Resolve unmerged file stage-next Find next chunk to stage tree-parent Switch to parent directory in tree view edit Open in editor ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Color command ------------- Color commands control highlighting and the user interface styles. If your terminal supports color, these commands can be used to assign foreground and background combinations to certain areas. Optionally, an attribute can be given as the last parameter. The syntax is: [verse] .............................................................................. *color* 'area' 'fgcolor' 'bgcolor' '[attributes]' .............................................................................. Examples: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ # Overwrite the default terminal colors to white on black. color default white black # Diff colors color diff-header yellow default color diff-index blue default color diff-chunk magenta default # A strange looking cursor line color cursor red default underline # UI colors color title-blur white blue color title-focus white blue bold ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Area names:: Valid area names are described below. Note, all names are case-insensitive, and you may use '-', '_', and '.' interchangeably, e.g. "Diff-Header", "DIFF_HEADER", and "diff.header" are the same. Color names:: Valid colors include: *white*, *black*, *green*, *magenta*, *blue*, *cyan*, *yellow*, *red*, *default*. Use *default* to refer to the default terminal colors. This is recommended for background colors if you are using a terminal with a transparent background. Attribute names:: Valid attributes include: *normal*, *blink*, *bold*, *dim*, *reverse*, *standout*, and *underline*. Note, not all attributes may be supported by the terminal. UI colors ~~~~~~~~~ The colors and attributes to be used for the text that is not highlighted or that specify the use of the default terminal colors can be controlled by setting the *default* color option. ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] General: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ default Overwrite default terminal colors (see above). cursor The cursor line. status The status window showing info messages. title-focus The title window for the current view. title-blur The title window of any backgrounded view. delimiter Delimiter shown for truncated lines. line-number Line numbers. date The commit date. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Main view colors: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ main-author The commit author. main-revgraph The revision graph. main-commit The commit comment. main-head Label of the current branch. main-remote Label of a remote. main-tracked Label of the remote tracked by the current branch. main-tag Label of a signed tag. main-local-tag Label of a local tag. main-ref Label of any other reference. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Status view: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ stat-head The "On branch"-line. stat-section Status section titles, stat-staged Status flag of staged files. stat-unstaged Status flag of unstaged files. stat-untracked Status flag of untracked files. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ifdef::backend-xhtml11[] [frame="none"] `-----------------------`----------------------------------------------------- endif::backend-xhtml11[] Blame view: ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ blame-id The commit ID. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Highlighting ~~~~~~~~~~~~ -- Diff markup:: Options concerning diff start, chunks and lines added and deleted. *diff-header*, *diff-chunk*, *diff-add*, *diff-del* Enhanced git diff markup:: Extra diff information emitted by the git diff machinery, such as mode changes, rename detection, and similarity. *diff-oldmode*, *diff-newmode*, *diff-copy-from*, *diff-copy-to*, *diff-rename-from*, *diff-rename-to*, *diff-similarity*, *diff-dissimilarity* *diff-tree*, *diff-index* Pretty print commit headers:: Commit diffs and the revision logs are usually formatted using pretty printed headers , unless `--pretty=raw` was given. This includes lines, such as merge info, commit ID, and author and committer date. *pp-author*, *pp-commit*, *pp-merge*, *pp-date*, *pp-adate*, *pp-cdate*, *pp-refs* Raw commit header:: Usually shown when `--pretty=raw` is given, however 'commit' is pretty much omnipresent. *commit*, *parent*, *tree*, *author*, *committer* Commit message:: For now only `Signed-off-by` and `Acked-by` lines are colorized. *signoff*, *acked* Tree markup:: Colors for information of the tree view. *tree-dir*, *tree-file* -- COPYRIGHT --------- Copyright (c) 2006-2009 Jonas Fonseca Licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License.
