Hi,

I am pleased to announce Tig version 2.6.0 which brings some improvements
and bugfixes. See the release notes below for a detailed list of changes.

What is Tig?
------------

Tig is an ncurses-based text-mode interface for git. It functions mainly
as a Git repository browser, but can also assist in staging changes for
commit at chunk level and act as a pager for output from various Git
commands.
