Turning off the pager in git for the stash command only and Disable all paging in git doesn't answer to this question because I sometimes want use the pager, but not by default, I just want git use pager when I add -p option
Update 2021-02-11 , one partial solution, I think that can do in some pieces, for example for branch command:
git config --global pager.branch false
Update 2022-06-15 for me the best solution but -p will not work:
git config --global core.pager ""
2022-06-15 : as I use a terminal with scroll bar , seems for me that will be more productive limit the entries of output than put in pager , for me instead write in terminal (I use konsole) for here I can copy, paste and search . If output goes to a pager the output will be lost forever when we leave the pager
Now just need to find out, how I limit the results to 100 or 200
I mean git log
by default be git log -100
in conclusion Git doesn't offer an option to do this , so this question falls in Disable all paging in git
Git doesn't offer an option to do this, so you have a couple of options:
core.pager
to cat
and then create an alias that you use that calls git -c core.pager=less
(or whatever you want).git
a shell function in your shell that does something like this:git () {
local pager=""
for arg in "$@"
do
[ "$arg" = "-p" ] && pager="-c core.pager=less"
done
command git $pager "$@"
}
