21 .Nd Git repository browser
33 is an interactive read-only browser for Git repositories.
34 This repository format is described in
35 .Xr git-repository 5 .
38 supports several types of views which display repository data:
41 Displays commits in the repository's history.
42 This view is displayed initially if no
44 is specified, or if just a
48 Displays changes made in a particular commit.
50 Displays the line-by-line history of a file.
52 Displays the tree corresponding to a particular commit.
54 Displays references in the repository.
58 provides global and command-specific key bindings and options.
59 The global key bindings are:
65 Quit the view which is in focus.
67 Switch focus between views.
69 Toggle fullscreen mode for a split-screen view.
71 will automatically use split-screen views if the size of the terminal
72 window is sufficiently large.
75 Global options must precede the command name, and are as follows:
76 .Bl -tag -width tenletters
78 Display usage information.
80 Display program version and exit immediately.
87 .It Cm log Oo Fl b Oc Oo Fl c Ar commit Oc Oo Fl r Ar repository-path Oc Op Ar path

91 is specified, show only commits which modified this path.
92 If invoked in a work tree, the

95 and the work tree's path prefix is implicitly prepended.
96 Otherwise, the path is interpreted relative to the repository root.
98 This command is also executed if no explicit command is specified.
