Tig 1.0 released - ncurses text-mode interface for git

  * It's fast.
  * It's there in the terminal, right where you're using git.
  * Hence, easy to use over ssh :)
  * Familiar keyboard shortcuts (press 'h' for help).
  * Combined log/diff view, where each scrolls independently.
  * 'tig --all'

I've often wished I could use it to start a rebase, but besides that, I find it damn near perfect.

As an avid rebase user, I want to add rebase support eventually. Something like interactive rebase, however, the question is how to improve something that is nearly perfect.

That'd be awesome. :)

If tig started "git rebase" (with or without -i) and then helped me through fixing any conflicts (merge tool?), that'd be awesome.

I sometimes forget where I am during a rebase, so showing how many more commits to go would be cool.

Sweet! I use tig daily as my main git viewer.

Here are some bindings my in .tigrc, which I use in the log viewer window, to make it more vim like:

bind generic g move-first-line

bind generic G move-last-line

bind generic n next

bind generic p previous

I generally use n/p to flip between commits in log view, hit enter to view a specific commit, and then j/k to move lines on the commit view.

Interesting. It looks similar to the vim plugin fugitive: http://www.vim.org/scripts/script.php?script_id=2975

Fugitive is pretty great once figure out most of it.

Extradite is a wrapper around fugitive to provide a log view similar to tig's log view, but seemed a bit clunky to me last time I tried it.

I love it, shame that most of the time I work with Mercurial... Is there anything like a tig for hg? I haven't been able to find it.
