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
Your pager is to blame. Assuming you're using less, you need to pass the -R option. You can add: export LESS=-R To your shell rc file.
