Description: |
|
|
|
Today we will discover the software named **tig** whose name stands |
|
for **Text-mode Interface for Git**. |
|
|
|
To install it on OpenBSD: `pkg_add tig` |
|
|
|
Tig is a light and easy to use terminal application to browse a git |
|
repository in an interactive manner. To use it, just 'cd' into a git |
|
repository on your filesystem and type `tig`. You will get the list of |
|
all the commits, with the author and the date. By pressing "Enter" key |
|
on a commit, you will get the diff. Tig also displays branching and |
|
merging in a graphical way. |
|
|
|
Tig has some parameters, one I like a lot if `blame` which is used |
|
like this: `tig blame afile`. Tig will show the file content and will |
|
display for each line to date of last commit, it's author and the |
|
small identifier of the commit. With this function, it gets really |
|
easy to find who modified a line or when it was modified. |
|
|
|
Tig has a lot of others possibilities, you can discover them in its |
|
man pages. |
