I have an idea for a cool feature request – EditAll – to open an editor with all filles from a foremost commit passed as arguments :)
Think of it – tig as a central console place (it already has such connotations, I very often open editor(s) from tig) of the console – the place where editor sessions are being kept ↔ i.e.: the sets of files related to each other by a feature and edited together… :)
vim users should give this plugin a try! Prevents vim processes from nesting as child processes. https://github.com/iberianpig/tig-explorer.vim
I have a super-useful configuration – a bind to <Enter> that opens up this simple Zsh script on '%(text)' passed as 1st argument:
This message was deleted
#!/usr/bin/env zsh
emulate zsh -o extended_glob
if [[ $1 == (#b)([^:]##):([0-9]##):* ]]; then
[[ -z $EDITOR ]] && EDITOR=mcedit
$EDITOR +$match[2] **/$match[1];t
fi
It allows to open the compiler error-line by pointing cursor and pressing enter. It will automatically jump to the line with the error.
So, :!make and browse freely :)
though why would you execute Make in Tig, and not your editor?
Guys, I've submitted an interesting PR (#1139); autoscroll and colorizing of compiler errors in pager view, to implement this simple IDE-like round-trip error fixing use case: https://asciinema.org/a/430460. You can
have this functionality also without the PR, just without autoscroll and colorizing of errors, as described in the PR.
Is there a way to properly pass %(text) to a sh command, if it contains string like: undefined reference to
SOME_VAR'? Notice and ', whose basically, apparently block any way of quoting the text, e.g.: !sh -c 'ls "%(text)"' will not work, nor will !sh -c "ls '%(text)'". So, is there a way to properly pass such %(text) to a sh command?
anyone can help on this?

I set the .tigrc as the messge, but still doesn't work
Ah, I bet you I've overwritten it with this
External commands:
I @sh -c "echo -n %(commit) | xclip -selection c"
Is there some way to search within the diffs of the commits from the main view? Currently the
/ search only takes the commits message into consideration, and when the diffview is open only the content of the diff of that specific commit is searched. Instead I would like to find the most recent commit that touched a variable called rare_banana. Can this be done in tig?
Why isn't a .patch/.diff file automatically colorized in pager? After selecting it with enter in [status] view? The view opened after pressing the enter looks like the pager view, but it says "[stage]" in the bottom bar line. Could this be fixed?
It is pretty inconsistent with general rule of colorizing like diff everything that looks like a diff (for example, when invoking something like git diff | tig)
Hah, I think I found a bug
git log -G bananaramamama | tig and press q, the tig window will close, but the process will stay alive and hence not give you back the prompt. You can kill it with ctrl-c
From time to time, I'm a bit sad that tig lacks functionality from git, so I'm wondering. Has there been any consideration in supporting something
git log | tig as an alternative way of starting tig? so That git log -S banana | tig could work, for example?
Or does anyone know of some other tool that just acts as a pager for git log output?
