I have a new server provider and they have no tig installed, I am pretty sure the guys have some good reasons for that. How do you browse git logs without tig?

Not really what I am looking for:

  1. $ git log --graph --color --oneline --all --decorate # how can I browse things with this?

  2. $ git log -p # more like diff-less -combo, not really browsing.

  3. $ gitk # I am on console, although I could sshfs things but I want to browse things like with tig

    From what you’ve said, I’d suggest one of these:

    1. git clone (maybe with –mirror) then just use tig. Advantages: it’s all local, tig will be fast. Disadvantages: you have to keep your mirror copy up-to-date.
    2. sshfs, then just use tig. Advantages: you are using your local tig, configured exactly how you want it, directly on the remote repository. Disadvantages: it might run a bit slow depending on sshfs network performance & caching.
