Subject: make "git --pager/--nopager" work as intended
Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2026 10:37:49 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <87o6mm2djm.fsf@tweety.afaics.de> (raw)
Hi folks,
maybe its neurological, but the current behavior of "git -p" vs "git -P"
makes me feel uneasy. Some commands (like git diff) use a pager by default,
some ues it even without need (git branch), others don't. For every other
git command I run I have the feeling git output is not working as intended.
Setting core.pager to "cat" is not a solution. It breaks git -p.
Regards
Harri
