21 .Nd Git repository browser
32 is an interactive read-only browser for Git repositories.
33 This repository format is described in
34 .Xr git-repository 5 .
37 supports several types of views which display repository data:
40 Displays commits in the repository's history.
41 This view is displayed initially if no
43 is specified, or if just a
47 Displays changes made in a particular commit.
49 Displays the line-by-line history of a file.
51 Displays the tree corresponding to a particular commit.
53 Displays references in the repository.
57 provides global and command-specific key bindings and options.
58 The global key bindings are:
64 Quit the view which is in focus.
66 Switch focus between views.
68 Toggle fullscreen mode for a split-screen view.
70 will automatically use split-screen views if the size of the terminal
71 window is sufficiently large.
74 Global options must precede the command name, and are as follows:
75 .Bl -tag -width tenletters
77 Display usage information.
79 Display program version and exit immediately.
86 .It Cm log Oo Fl b Oc Oo Fl c Ar commit Oc Oo Fl r Ar repository-path Oc Op Ar path
87 Display history of a repository.
90 is specified, show only commits which modified this path.
91 If invoked in a work tree, the
93 is interpreted relative to the current working directory,
94 and the work tree's path prefix is implicitly prepended.
95 Otherwise, the path is interpreted relative to the repository root.
97 This command is also executed if no explicit command is specified.

112 Move the cursor to the newest commit.
114 Move the cursor to the oldest commit.
115 This will traverse all commits on the current branch which may take
116 a long time depending on the number of commits in branch history.
117 If needed this operation can be cancelled with
122 view showing file changes made in the currently selected commit.
126 view showing the tree for the currently selected commit.

160 option determines whether merged commits are displayed initially.

167 view for arbitrary branches and tags.
175 Display individual commits which were merged into the current branch
179 shows the linear history of the current branch only.
182 key binding can be used to toggle display of merged commits at run-time.

187 An abbreviated hash argument will be expanded to a full SHA1 hash
188 automatically, provided the abbreviation is unique.
