Sometimes it is necessary to work only with text console.

Git provides rich command line interface, but browsing history is little bit cumbersome.

If you like command line tools and email client mutt then there is awesome tool for you: tig.

tig is text mode interface for git.

Just enter directory with cloned git repo and type:

tig

tig-example

Quick navigation:

  • Enter – show details
  • Tab – switch window pane
  • q – quit

This tool is available for Mac and Linux. Windows version is available in Cygwin.
