Install `tig` CLI Git repository browser tool

Without the need for Xcode bloat (yay!).

What is tig?: https://github.com/jonas/tig

# install gcc/make/etc.
# note: this will *not* install Xcode - don't be fooled by xcode in CLI command name
$ xcode-select --install

# now download and compile tig source
$ curl -LO -- https://github.com/jonas/tig/archive/tig-2.3.0.tar.gz
$ tar -xf tig-2.3.0.tar.gz
$ cd tig-tig-2.3.0
$ make

# finally install
$ sudo make install prefix=/usr/local

The tig binary will now be available at:

$ which tig
/usr/local/bin/tig
