Subject: Force usage of pager for diff, show, etc when piping to non-TTY
Date: Tue, 15 Aug 2023 17:09:13 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAMRL+qYYGJ-LYG8qZpJOq+_=YO_C7JSTH4TPDpbEA4fRdANP7w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

Hi,

I noticed there is no option I can pass to git to use the pager set in
my gitconfig even when piping to non-TTY. Is there a workaround? If
not, may I request this as a new feature?

Use case: integrate tools like Delta or diff-so-fancy when building
wrappers around git commands. See
https://github.com/dandavison/delta/discussions/840 and
https://github.com/PatrickF1/fzf.fish/discussions/202 for examples.

Thanks,
Patrick
