Subject: [RFC PATCH 06/13] b4: select platform-appropriate default pager
Date: Sat, 25 Apr 2026 12:49:34 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260425194943.1499-7-lutgaru@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260425194943.1499-1-lutgaru@gmail.com>
"less" is not available on a stock Windows installation. Fall back to
"more" when sys.platform is "win32" and no explicit pager is configured
via GIT_PAGER, core.pager, or the PAGER environment variable.
