Hey there, I'm starting with Tig and I love, it, but I'm having some trouble with switching views.... Mostly, what I want is to stage a chunk of a file

For example, I open tig status to open status view.
Then I select the file I want to stage (move with arrows <up> <down> and then press <enter>). This splits the view in two.
Here, I'd guess I can switch to the new view pressing <tab>, and then move in that view with <up> <down> arrows, but it's not the case. I can only move with <j> and <k>, and the focus window changes if I press <tab>.

Is this the expected behaviour or I may have found a bug? (I'm in MacOS and tried already with bash and zsh shell)

Dmitry Valter

@dvalter

@Sturgelose looks like it's not the case by default. Help (h) says they [<Down> and j]'re binded to different actions.
Anyway you may configure it in tigrc like

$ cat ~/.tigrc 
bind generic <Down> move-down
bind generic <Up> move-up

@benlemasurier

is it possible to get a log view for single file?

Hsieh Chin Fan

@typebrook

@benlemasurier
use tig --[file] directly

if you want to do it inside tig, just add binding like:

bind tree m >tig -- %(file)

Ben LeMasurier

@benlemasurier

makes sense. thank you

I have a feature request: could a TIGRC_EXTRA be added, to point to an additional configuration file?

I'm thinking about creating a plugin for Zsh, but also possibly for Bash, that would supply e.g.: a bindings that would display a fzf-backed list of Makefile targets and run a selected target. To supply such additional functionality in a pluggable fashion I would need that environment variable

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

I've created a PR with this extension: #970

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

And here's the plugin, I've managed to accomplish the goal without TIGRC_EXTRA, however I still think that it would be a meanigful extension and I'm hoping for #970 merging. The plugin: https://github.com/zdharma/zsh-tig-plugin

Wow! I'll give it a try later

Hi! Does tig can show file (f) with highlight for changed rows? Any quick navigation available (next change/prev change) in this mode? Can file view mode (f) been opened on position same with currently selected line (from diff mode)?

Hello

@psprint

Oh, my view started to divide horizontally instead of vertically, how to revert to the previous behavior?

ah, I've removed my config, ok

Sorin Sbarnea

@ssbarnea

@psprint remember to git yout tig! ;)

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

hehe yes :) I've did this, so it's all back to normal now :)

@kapilt

So I’ve been wondering is it possible to program a view in tig? Custom views are great, but is the answer entering a separate curses prog from that view?

Pavel Roskin

@proski

Can somebody have a look at my PR #983? It fixes vertical lines in Putty. When in the UTF-8 graphic mode, tig uses UTF-8 characters for graphs and curses drawing lines for other vertical lines (window separators and line number separators). That's inconsistent. With my change, only UTF-8 symbols are used in the UTF-8 mode. I added a test for vertical lines in all 3 modes.

Landon Gilbert-Bland

@vimalloc

Aloha. With git diff it highlights trailing whitespace in red. Is it possible to have that behavior when looking over code changes with tig? I tried playing the W / :toggle ignore-space, but can't get the trailing whitespace displayed.

Hsieh Chin Fan

@typebrook

@vimalloc
add set diff-highlight = true in your tigrc and tig will use diff-highlight in your PATH

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

I'm having problems to undestand how u works. Shouldn't it stage/unstage the currently active block? Instead, it does that with the top block or all blocks… … …

Johannes Altmanninger

@krobelus

@psprint > Shouldn't it stage/unstage the currently active block?
That works for me, it only stages all blocks in a file if I select the file

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

@krobelus and it stages unstages only the selected blocks?

Johannes Altmanninger

@krobelus

@psprint yes, only the selected block which is bounded by the hunk markers starting with @@

the cursor needs to be within the hunk

Ruslan Yakauleu

@QuAzI

Can tig show tree of changed files since last merge with master?
Something like git diff --name-only HEAD..master but with tree of files at left side?
Or maybe git can do something like tree?

@maletin

is anybody using the Triangular Work Flow?
per default i pull from remote-1 and push to remote-2.

$ git status
On branch master
Your branch is up to date with 'remote-1/master'.
nothing to commit, working tree clean

here i miss the information Your branch is ahead of 'remote-2/master' by 1 commit.

$ git push
To /tmp/demo/remote-2/.
   727c2ed..588321f  master -> master

is it a good idea to get this information from .git/config and display it in refs-view and status-view?

Pavel Roskin

@proski

Could someone please have a look at PR #983? It fixes a known issue with vertical lines in Putty. Just because the latest Putty versions can be configured to support ACS graphics in UTF-8 mode, it doesn't make my changes less valuable. Most time I use Putty I don't have permissions or time to do any tweaks. Using ACS in UTF-8 mode is unnecessary and inconsistent with other tig code (graph drawing specifically) that is careful to use UTF-8 graphics in UTF-8 mode. It took me hours to find a fix and then many more hours to make the code consistent (look at the commit history). For instance, since I cannot use the line character as background in the UTF-8 mode, I made the code fill the window that represents the line. Then I changed the code to do it in all modes. Then I optimized the code to skip erasing the window. I added tests for all three modes. The PR have been in review since January and there has been no feedback :(

Hello, is it possible to locate a file in finder f and then show a log for selected file?

Any chance to see a new release soon? I really appreciate that my changes for vertical lines in Putty were accepted. I would be happy to make a custom package for my colleagues who are stuck with Putty and Windows, and I don't want to make it from a git snapshot.

@psprint

Sharing a keybinding:

bind generic xrc !sh -c "$EDITOR $HOME/.tigrc"

How to reload the configuration?

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

Guessed it – it's :source …path…

Sebastian Gniazdowski

@psprint

I have a question: how to show a message after the source ~/.tigrc? In a binding?

Shuji Koike

@shuji-koike_gitlab

@here Hi, folks!
I have a question: In main view, is there a way to only show commits of head of the branches?

Shuji Koike

@shuji-koike_gitlab

Ok, I'm getting closer.
running tig --all with set main-options = -n 1000 --simplify-by-decoration is bascally what I wanted :)
I's there a way to make --simplify-by-decoration to toggle with a single key?

Brian Spilner

@Try2Code

mornin! I was wondering about the stash view: what commands does it offer?

Brian Spilner

@Try2Code

I thought, maybe there are keys to pop or apply them ...

Hsieh Chin Fan

@typebrook

@Try2Code FYI, this is my key bindings for stash view:

curl -s https://raw.githubusercontent.com/typebrook/settings/dev/tigrc | grep 'bind stash'

Hsieh Chin Fan

@typebrook

@shuji-koike_gitlab In this case, a new tig instance works. You can also press q to quit to your current tig instance.

bind main Y >sh -c "tig --all --simplify-by-decoration"

@ouuan

Hi! I'm new to tig. I have searched in the manual but couldn't find: Can I start up in the diff view? i.e. instead of running tig and then pressing d, can I do this in a single command? I've tried git diff | tig but that's different from the diff view as it doesn't support jumping to the diff of a file.

Hsieh Chin Fan

@typebrook

@ouuan Well, you are looking for tig show
Though it is a little counter-intuitive, but already written in manual:

tig show shows the latest commit like git show. Can I use it to show the unstaged changes like git diff?

Yufan You

@ouuan

I've tried git diff | tig but that's different from the diff view as it doesn't support jumping to the diff of a file.

I just realized that the diff view of the unstaged changes doesn't support jumping to the diff of a specific file. However, it supports using the @ key to jump to the diff of the next file, while git diff | tig doesn't.

Hey all

Has anyone here seen tig's bash completion flat out stop working when upgrading to a later tig version, like 2.4 or 2.5?

I'm on Gentoo. All other bash completion works fine. Tig's used to work fine, also.

https://github.com/jonas/tig/issues?q=is%3Aissue+bash doesn't find anything obviously relevant

2.5.1 did ship jonas/tig#795 - but I can't tell why it wouldn't work

Hello. One one server, the "lines" (/, \, |, *) are replaced by x,o,q,j characters. Any suggestion how I could fix this ?

Frédéric G. MARAND

@fgm

actually, it's even stranger, its one one repo on that server, not on the other repos
