title Quickstart: Simple Tig
description Lightweight Tig that saves chats only (no commit/branch linking)

Get started with Simple Tig

Simple Tig stores your AI chats so you can search and review them later. It does not link interactions to commits, branches, or PRs.

Step 1: Create an account

Go to app.usetig.dev and create an account.

Step 2: Install Simple Tig

Install the Simple Tig package globally using npm:

npm install -g @tigtech/simple-tig
Make sure you have Node.js installed on your system before running this command.

Step 3: Login

Authenticate your local installation:

tig login
This uses GitHub device flow. You’ll be prompted with an 8‑character code to enter at `https://github.com/login/device`.

Step 4: Capture chats

Use your AI coding assistant as usual in your project. Simple Tig will capture chats locally and upload them when you push if configured.

Step 5: View your conversations

Go to app.usetig.dev to browse and search saved chats.

Limitations vs Tig

  • No commit/branch/PR linkage
  • No PR View comments
  • No Tig Blame

If you need code-aware context (commits, PR timelines, blame), use the full Tig:

Install Tig to link chats to commits, enable PR View, and use Tig Blame
