How to shut off localization in git 1.8

git, localization, terminal

Solution

You can use `alias` to specifically disable localization:

alias git="LANG=en_US git"

Put that in your `.profile`/`.bashrc` (or other shell startup script) to make it permanent.

Problem

I just updated my git to version 1.8 on OSX 10.8.2 following this tutorial and now git responds partially in my localization. e.g. ``` $ git status # Auf Zweig master nothing to commit, working directory clean ``` How can I shut this off?
