That's because (as you could read in less' way-too-long-for-a-damn-pager man page), you did not specify the magic "-R" make-everything-work-like-it-should option, which turns on the display of escape sequences (which are used to color your terminal). > If I run: > > unset LESS > git log > > then I get colored text. That's because if not set, git default to setting LESS to -FXRS (which includes the -R option). Solution is to either not set LESS, or to include -R if that's indeed what you want. -- Cheers, Sverre Rabbelier -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
