Häufige Anwendungsfälle

Use Case 1: Code Review Workflow

# Open repository
tig

# Navigate to commit (use j/k)
# Press Enter to see full diff
# Press Tab to switch between views
# Press q to go back

# Review specific branch
tig feature-branch

# Compare branches
tig main..feature-branch

Use Case 2: Finding When a Bug was Introducing

# Search for specific code change
tig -S"problematic_function"

# Or search commit messages
tig --grep="bug\|fix" -i

# View blame for specific file
tig blame src/buggy-file.js

# Navigate to suspicious line
# Press Enter to see the commit
# Press Tab to see full commit details

Use Case 3: Interactive Staging and Committing

# Open status view
tig status

# Navigate to files (j/k)
# Press 'u' to stage/unstage files
# Press '1' to stage individual lines
# Press 'C' to commit when ready
# Write commit message and save

Use Case 4: Projektgeschichte erkunden

# View all commits with graph
tig --all

# Filter by author and date
tig --author="John Doe" --since="1 month ago"

# View commits affecting specific files
tig -- src/core/*.py

# Follow file through renames
tig --follow -- src/renamed-file.js

Use Case 5: Branch Management

# View all branches and tags
tig refs

# Navigate to branch
# Press 'C' to create new branch
# Press 'd' to delete branch
# Press 'm' to merge branch
# Press Enter to view branch commits

oder Best Practices

  • **Learn Tastaturabkürzungen*: Tig ist für die Tastaturnavigation konzipiert. Memorize j/k für Bewegung, Enter zum Bohren nach unten, und q zum effizienten Surfen zurückgehen.

  • **Benutze blickspezifische Befehle*: Verschiedene Ansichten haben unterschiedliche Operationen. Drücken Sie h in jeder Hinsicht, um verfügbare Schlüsselbindungen für diesen Kontext zu sehen.

  • **Kundenspezifische Konfiguration*: Erstellen Sie eine ~/.config/tig/config-Datei, um Farben, Bindungen und Einstellungen zu Ihrem Workflow und Präferenzen anzupassen.

  • ** Kombinieren Sie mit Git Befehlen*: Verwenden Sie tig für Visualisierung und Git Befehle für Operationen. Tig ergänzt Git statt es zu ersetzen.

  • ** Filter für große Repositories*: In Repositories mit Tausenden von Commits verwenden Sie --author, --since, --grep oder Dateifilter zu engen Ergebnissen.

  • **Leverage die Statusansicht*: Verwenden Sie tig status als interaktive Alternative zu git add -p zur körnigen Staging Control.

  • **Explore mit Tab*: Verwenden Sie Tab, um durch verwandte Ansichten zu zyklieren und verschiedene Perspektiven auf die gleichen Daten zu sehen (bekommen → diff → tree).

  • ** Repository-spezifische Configs einrichten*: Erstellen .git/tigrc in Repositories, die spezielle Einstellungen benötigen, ohne Ihre globale Konfiguration zu beeinflussen.

Fehlerbehebung

Issue Solution
Tig not found after installation Ensure tig is in your PATH: INLINE_CODE_112. Restart terminal or run INLINE_CODE_113
Colors not displaying correctly Check terminal supports 256 colors. Set INLINE_CODE_114 or configure colors in INLINE_CODE_115
Slow performance in large repos Use filters to limit commits: INLINE_CODE_116 or INLINE_CODE_117. Consider INLINE_CODE_118
UTF-8 characters display incorrectly Set locale: INLINE_CODE_119 and INLINE_CODE_120 in shell config
Mouse not working Enable in config: INLINE_CODE_121. Ensure terminal supports mouse events
Can't edit commits or stage files Ensure you have write permissions and are in a valid Git repository. Check INLINE_CODE_122 works
Custom key bindings not working Verify syntax in config file. Check for conflicts with default bindings. Reload with INLINE_CODE_123
Tig crashes on startup Check Git repository is valid: INLINE_CODE_124. Update tig to latest version. Remove custom config temporarily
Diff view shows binary files Add to INLINE_CODE_125: INLINE_CODE_126. Or set INLINE_CODE_127
Line numbers not showing Enable in config: INLINE_CODE_128 and ensure view supports line numbers
