Want better? Use tig - https://github.com/jonas/tig



I'm so annoyed. I've heard "tig is amazing" so I go to github... hmm, no screenshots or examples. Oh, there's a homepage. Compile instructions but also no screenshots or examples.

"Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output from various git commands."

It happens all over github. Even UI projects fall prey to this problem, which is especially egregious. I want to grab these project owners by the shoulders, shake them, and yell DON'T YOU WANT ME TO USE YOUR PROJECT? THEN SHOW ME WTF IT DOES!!


There are definitely screenshots on the website (http://jonas.nitro.dk/tig/screenshots/)


Oh I see, in the screenshots directory. That's nice. Point still stands, put your screenshots front and center.


This. Tig is amazing


Everytime I think a feature doesn't exist in tig, I search the docs for it... facepalm that I didn't realize it could do that and love it ever so much more.
