Gerrit,

It looks like –no-pager is not a git option for the version I’m using under macOS but I would expect it to know it’s not in a terminal and therefore not do any paging or coloring, which appears to be the case.

I do have it working now, so I can keep my database in sync with a git repo fairly efficiently.

Cheers,

E.

Hi Eliot,

Maybe the pager is getting in your way? Try the global git option
--no-pager.
