.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.sp
Browse changes in a git repository\&. Additionally, tig(1) can also act as a pager for output of various git commands\&.
.sp
When browsing repositories, tig(1) uses the underlying git commands to present the user with various views, such as summarized commit log and showing the commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff\&.

Using tig(1) as a pager, it will display input from stdin and try to colorize it\&.
