My favourite things about Tig:
* 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'
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.

Good to see people still develop using ncurse. It is quite different from the "SaaS in the cloud" trend.
The main project site has more information, as well as some screenshots: http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/
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.
Tig is the only git viewer that I like.
Just tried it, very impressed. Pretty sure it will be my favorite git viewer.
what do you not like about gitk?

It's fine. I have nothing against it. I just generally like doing as much as I can in the terminal, when that makes sense.
gitk is OK, but I like tig. Personal quirks.

fair enough. i'm just the other way around - i usually prefer terminal-based apps, but i really like gitk and git-cola. the gui really enhances the user experience for both those apps.
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.
