+ Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for
+ output from various git commands.
+
+ When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present
+ the user with various views, such as summarized revision log and showing
+ the commit with the log message, diffstat, and the diff.
+
+ Using it as a pager, it will display input from stdin and colorize it."
