.Nd Git repository browser
.Sh SYNOPSIS
.Nm
.Op Ar command
.Op Fl h
.Op Ar arg ...
.Pp
.Nm
.Ar path
.Sh DESCRIPTION
.Nm
is an interactive read-only browser for Git repositories.
This repository format is described in
.Xr git-repository 5 .
.Pp
.Nm
supports several types of views which display repository data:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Log view
Displays commits in the repository's history.
This view is displayed initially if no
.Ar command
is specified, or if just a
.Ar path
is specified.
.It Diff view
Displays changes made in a particular commit.
.It Blame view
Displays the line-by-line history of a file.
.It Tree view
Displays the tree corresponding to a particular commit.
.It Ref view
Displays references in the repository.
.El
.Pp
.Nm
provides global and command-specific key bindings and options.
Some command-specific key bindings may be prefixed with an integer, which is
denoted by N in the descriptions below, and is used as a modifier to the
operation as indicated.
.Nm
will echo digits to the screen when count modifiers are entered, and complete
the sequence upon input of the first non-numeric character.
Count modifiers can be aborted by entering an unmapped key.
Once a compound command is executed, the operation can be cancelled with
.Cm C-g
or
.Cm Backspace .
The global key bindings are:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm Q
Quit
.Nm .
.It Cm q
Quit the view which is in focus.
.It Cm Tab
Switch focus between views.
.It Cm F
Toggle fullscreen mode for a split-screen view.
.Nm
will automatically use split-screen views if the size of the terminal
window is sufficiently large.
.El
.Pp
Global options must precede the command name, and are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width tenletters
.It Fl h
Display usage information.
.It Fl V , -version
Display program version and exit immediately.
.El
.Pp
The commands for
.Nm
are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width blame
.It Cm log Oo Fl b Oc Oo Fl c Ar commit Oc Oo Fl r Ar repository-path Oc Op Ar path
Display history of a repository.
If a
.Ar path
is specified, show only commits which modified this path.
If invoked in a work tree, the
.Ar path
is interpreted relative to the current working directory,
and the work tree's path prefix is implicitly prepended.
Otherwise, the path is interpreted relative to the repository root.
.Pp
This command is also executed if no explicit command is specified.
.Pp
The key bindings for
.Cm tog log
are as follows (N denotes optional prefixed count modifier):
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Cm Down-arrow, j, >, Full stop, Ctrl-n
Move the selection cursor down N lines (default: 1).
.It Cm Up-arrow, k, <, Comma, Ctrl-p
Move the selection cursor up N lines (default: 1).
.It Cm Right-arrow, l
Scroll log message field to the right N increments (default: 1).
.br
Log message moves left on the screen.
.It Cm Left-arrow, h
Scroll log message field to the left N increments (default: 1).
.br
Log message moves right on the screen.
.It Cm $
Scroll log message field to the rightmost position.
.It Cm 0
Scroll log message field to the leftmost position.
.It Cm Page-down, Space, Ctrl+f, f
Move the selection cursor down N pages (default: 1).
.It Cm Page-up, Ctrl+b, b
Move the selection cursor up N pages (default: 1).
.It Cm Ctrl+d, d
Move the selection cursor down N half pages (default: 1).
.It Cm Ctrl+u, u
Move the selection cursor up N half pages (default: 1).
.It Cm Home, g
Move the cursor to the newest commit.
.It Cm End, G
Move the cursor to the oldest commit.
This will traverse all commits on the current branch which may take
a long time depending on the number of commits in branch history.
If needed, this operation can be cancelled with
.Cm C-g
or
.Cm Backspace .
.It Cm Enter
Open a
.Cm diff
view showing file changes made in the currently selected commit.
.It Cm t
Open a
.Cm tree
view showing the tree for the currently selected commit.
.It Cm Backspace
Show log entries for the parent directory of the currently selected path.
However when an active search is in progress or when additional commits
are loaded,
.Cm Backspace
aborts the running operation.
.It Cm /
Prompt for a search pattern and start searching for matching commits.
The search pattern is an extended regular expression which is matched
against a commit's author name, committer name, log message, and
commit ID SHA1 hash.
Regular expression syntax is documented in
.Xr re_format 7 .
.It Cm n
Find the Nth next commit which matches the current search pattern (default: 1).
.br
Searching continues until either a match is found or
.Cm C-g
or the
.Cm Backspace
key is pressed.
.It Cm N
Find the Nth previous commit which matches the current search pattern
(default: 1).
.br
Searching continues until either a match is found or
.Cm C-g
or the
.Cm Backspace
key is pressed.
.It Cm Ctrl+l
Reload the
.Cm log
view with new commits found in the repository.

Reload the
.Cm log
view and toggle display of merged commits.
The
.Fl b
option determines whether merged commits are displayed initially.

view listing all references in the repository.
This can then be used to open a new
.Cm log
view for arbitrary branches and tags.
.El
.Pp
The options for
.Cm tog log
are as follows:
.Bl -tag -width Ds
.It Fl b
Display individual commits which were merged into the current branch
from other branches.
By default,

shows the linear history of the current branch only.
The
.Cm B
key binding can be used to toggle display of merged commits at run-time.
.It Fl c Ar commit
Start traversing history at the specified
.Ar commit .
The expected argument is the name of a branch or a commit ID SHA1 hash.
An abbreviated hash argument will be expanded to a full SHA1 hash
automatically, provided the abbreviation is unique.
If this option is not specified, default to the work tree's current branch
if invoked in a work tree, or to the repository's HEAD reference.
.It Fl r Ar repository-path
Use the repository at the specified path.
If not specified, assume the repository is located at or above the current
working directory.
If this directory is a
.Xr got 1
work tree, use the repository path associated with this work tree.
.El
.It Cm diff Oo Fl a Oc Oo Fl C Ar number Oc Oo Fl r Ar repository-path Oc Oo Fl w Oc Ar object1 Ar object2
Display the differences between two objects in the repository.
Treat each of the two arguments as a reference, a tag name, or an object
ID SHA1 hash, and display differences between the corresponding objects.
Both objects must be of the same type (blobs, trees, or commits).
An abbreviated hash argument will be expanded to a full SHA1 hash
automatically, provided the abbreviation is unique.
