Okay, that makes sense now. What do you think about the new description?
Description: ncurses-based Git repository browser
This package contains a text-mode interface for the version control system
Git. It may be used to browse the history and contents of a repository. The
following main features are supported:
- View revision logs, commit messages, diffstats, diffs, archive trees and
file contents.
- Visualize revision graphs.
- Stage / unstage changes and add untracked files.
- Merge files.
- Cherry-pick commits.
.
tig may also be used as a pager. It reads input from stdin and colorizes it.
Thanks for the feedback!
Cheers,
Sebastian
