Subject: Should "git help" respect the 'pager' setting?
Date: Thu, 30 May 2013 12:33:01 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAKtB=OCyoN8ECYiAzXc3UiCrLfWn7Pq7_5CSQUjJ2dhbzQ2RsQ@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
I have my global git config pager set to 'cat', but when I do a "git
help <command>", it still uses a pager. This is especially irksome in
emacs shell buffers, where I am most of the time. I know I can do a
M-x man -> git-<whatever>, but wondered if this was a bug or user
error. ("git --no-pager help <command>" does the same.)
