Dear Git community,
git version 2.31.1.windows.1
Whenever I use GIT STATUS in a Windows cmd.exe dosbox the output is
unreadable. Because of the usage of RED textcolor on a BLACK background.
See attached screenshot.png
Kind regards,
Mirco Babin

you can tweak the global default for having colors on/off via the
setting color.ui.
So for example doing
git config --global color.ui off
will turn colors globally off.
You can also tweak which colors are used, see color.status.<slot>. All
the git config options can be seen with git help config.
I've checked here and here the red is quite a bit brighter compared to
your screenshot, so I would not claim it is unreadable but that is of
course heavily subjective.
