[ANNOUNCE] tig-0.11

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello,

This tig release brings many fixes and improvements to the user
interface. Fix pager mode and disable view rely on git directory.  The
date and author columns as well as references can now be toggled on and
off. Local (unsigned) tags are now shown as references and the builtin
reference colors have been changed to highlight the current branch and
the remote tracked by the current branch. The status and stage views are
now reloaded after running external commands (e.g. git commit) so they
stay up to date. Finally, add a blame view accessible from the command
line (tig blame [rev] file), status view as well as the tree view (by
pressing 'B').

Options that were deprecated in 0.10 has been removed except for -S and
the old -- handling is also gone. Unless anybody complains tig diff will
probably also go, while I am still considering what to do with the log
subcommand.

For next release I hope that horizontal scrolling will be fixed. With
the recent interest in textual representation of commit graphs, fixing
or rewriting tig's graph rendering could also be a good addition.

What is tig?
------------
Tig is a ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a git repository browser, but can also act as a pager for output from
various git commands.
