Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for Git, functioning mainly as a Git repository browser. It also assists in staging changes for commit at chunk level and acts as a pager for output from various Git commands.
Use cases
- browse git repository history in the terminal
- stage changes for commit at chunk level
- use as a pager for git command output
- view commit diffs and logs in a TUI
- navigate branches and refs without leaving the terminal
When to choose
- you want a fast keyboard-driven git interface in the terminal
- you need to review history and stage hunks without a GUI
- you work over SSH on remote servers
When to avoid
- you prefer a full graphical git client
- you need git features not exposed by Tig's interface
