Checkout a file from tig

Question

If i open up tig with another branch: ``` tig otherBranch ``` Is it possible to navigate to the tree view find a file that I want and check it out to my current branch?

Accepted Answer

Yes, you have to add a user-defined command in `~/.tigrc`, for example:

```
bind generic ^F !?git checkout %(commit) %(file)
```

Then open `tig otherBranch`, press `t` to go to the tree view, navigate to the file and press `Ctrl-F`.
