tig: Show the history of a specific branch.
$ tig ${branch}
try on your machine

The command "tig ${branch}" is a specific use of the "tig" command with a variable named "branch".

  • "tig" is a text mode interface for Git. It provides an interactive way to view and navigate Git repositories. It can be used as an alternative to the command-line interface.

  • "${branch}" is a variable that represents a specific branch name in the Git repository. We use the "${branch}" syntax to reference the value of the variable. Additionally, "${branch}" must be replaced with the actual branch name when using this command.

Therefore, the command "tig ${branch}" is used to open the "tig" interface and display the specified Git branch. By replacing "${branch}" with the actual branch name, you can view the branch's commits, changes, and other relevant information using the "tig" tool.
