Tig is a lightweight, terminal-based Git interface built with ncurses that brings powerful repository browsing directly to your command line. Whether you're reviewing commit history, exploring branches, or preparing changes for commit, Tig provides an intuitive way to interact with Git without leaving your terminal.

Key capabilities include:

Repository browsing - Navigate commit history, view diffs, and explore branches with ease
Chunk-level staging - Stage specific portions of changes rather than entire files
Git command pager - Use Tig as a pager for various Git command outputs
Efficient navigation - Keyboard-driven interface designed for speed and productivity

Tig is ideal for developers who prefer working in the terminal and want a more visual way to interact with Git repositories. The text-mode interface makes it perfect for remote work, SSH sessions, or minimal environments where graphical tools aren't practical. With support for viewing detailed commit information, diffs, and file contents, Tig helps you understand your repository's history and make informed decisions about your changes.
