Hi all, I already asked this at the forums, but as no one has an answer there I hope someone here knows a solution. On a Git cheat sheet I found that I could add nice colors to Git's output, so I edited my ~/.gitconfig by adding: [color] ui = auto [color "branch"] current = yellow reverse local = yellow remote = green [color "diff"] meta = yellow bold frag = magenta bold old = red bold new = green bold [color "status"] added = yellow changed = green untracked = cyan When performing a git log my terminal looks like this: http://ompldr.org/vZ2t1bA (escape sequences instead of colors). The same problem appears with git diff: http://ompldr.org/vZ2t1bg However, as you can see in the second screenshot, git status and git branch look correct. This happens in urxvt, but also in xterm and the terminal screens (tty[1-6]). Do you know what's wrong? Regards, Marcel
