Git diff: Write output and exit instead of interactive mode
diff, git, interactive-mode, macos
Solution
Disable the interactive pager with the `--no-pager` option.
Usage: `git --no-pager diff` (note how it's not specific to git-diff, so it's usable with any git command!)

Problem
When I run `git diff` on my OSX command line, the output is displayed inside a `less` or `vim` interface. The interface lets me to scroll up and down, and quit using the q key. This is very annoying, especially when there is no diff and git opens a blank screen. Can I just write the diff (color) output the the screen without entering the interactive mode?
