git- strange characters in output (msys-git)
git, msysgit
Solution
`git config --global color.ui false` should do it as those characters are responsible for changing the text color (which is not supported by the Windows console).
Problem
I'm using msys-git and notice I often get strange characters in the output after doing a git pull. I presume these are some sort of control characters that some terminals might understand but in a standard windows command prompt they result in this: ``` Source/MidiLib/AudioChannelMixer.cpp ←[m | 6 ←[32m+←[m Source/MidiLib/AudioEnvironment.cpp ←[m | 4 ←[32m+←[m Source/MidiLib/EventIDs.h ←[m | 1 ←[32m+←[m Source/MidiLib/MidiAssignable.cpp ←[m | 207 ←[32m+++++++++++++++++++++++++←[m←[31m---←[m Source/MidiLib/MidiAssignable.h ←[m | 39 ←[32m+++++←[m←[31m-←[m Source/MidiLib/MidiAssignmentsDlg.cpp ←[m | 101 ←[32m++++++++++++←[m←[31m--←[m ``` It's not really a problem, but annoying... is there a way to disable these characters and get a clean output?
