Description
Tig
Tig is a free and open-source Git repository browser that’s super handy! It can also serve as a pager for output from various Git commands. This means you can easily check changes in your Git repository and see the results of your Git commands in a neat format.
What Can Tig Do?
When you're browsing through your repositories with Tig, it uses Git commands under the hood to show you different views. You can look at a summarized commit log or view specific commits along with their log messages, diffstat, and even the diff itself. It's like having a powerful magnifying glass to inspect your code changes!
Using Tig as a Pager
One cool feature is its ability to act as a pager. When you use it this way, it can display input from stdin and adds some color to make things easier on the eyes. This way, you don’t just see plain text; everything is nicely organized and colorful!
