Tig is and has been my favorite utility for browsing git logs for years now. Thanks tig developers and contributors!

It's handy to know that the arrow keys are used for browsing the log messages, while return followed by either pgup/pgdn or j/k are used for scrolling the contents of a log message. And it's easy to search logs with /.

Tig is also theme-able. For instance with:

curl -so ~/.tigrc 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cbertoldi/dotfiles/master/...'

Note that this may overwrite your ~/.tigrc, if you already have one. Colors are subjective, but I like how it looks in my terminal emulator.

Tig is highly recommended. It just works and is one less thing to worry about.
