git diff output - terminal is not fully functional

git diff output - terminal is not fully functional

[Andreas Röhler]

Hi,

with `git diff' from an shell inside Emacs,
output stops at every diff-line,
reporting its line.

Also I get a

"WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

Assume it's a common known issue...

BTW from bazaar diff runs smoothly...

What to do?

Thanks

Andreas

Well you probably don't want to use git diff in a shell, there are many
external packages that does it much better (for example magit).

The "problem" is that git diff calls a pager (less probably) and the
shell in emacs is not a full terminal emulator.

There is also M-x term which is closer, but it doesn't make so much
sense in my opinion..

Hi,

thanks and sorry,
just want to use it in a shell:

while exploring something new or not so common, I'll not run into bugs 
from emacs-scripts, have all feature indendent from implementation etc.

Also I use shell-scripts, which might be started from inside Emacs more 
conveniently again.

I'll have look at magit anyway, thanks for the tip.

Wonder why bazaar is able to cope with this. There should be a way to 
provide this for git too.

Just do:

git-config --global core.pager ""

Thanks,

unfortunatly it has no effect.
Also editing file config in .git fails.
While setting is recognised by --list

:(

Well it definitely works for me, so something
else must be going on.  What does your global
~/.gitconfig look like?

Mine is :

[user]
	name = Erik Iverson
	email = user@email.com
[core]
	editor = emacs
	pager =

Which version of git are you running?

git version 1.5.2.4

See three config-files

.gitconfig in ~/

config in ~/.git

config in ~/org-mode/.git


Contents in this order:

[user]
	name = Andreas Roehler
	email = andreas.roehler@online.de
[core]

         pager =

;;;;;;;;


[core]
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	filemode = true
	bare = false
	logallrefupdates = true

;;;;;;;

[core]
	bare = false
	filemode = true
	logallrefupdates = true
	repositoryformatversion = 0
	whitespace = false
[remote "origin"]
	url = git://repo.or.cz/org-mode.git
	fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*
[branch "master"]
	remote = origin
	merge = refs/heads/master

;;;;;;,

BTW whitespace = false has been added in these essay today, has no 
visible effect so far.

Thanks

I'm using git version 1.7.1, could very well be the difference?

Hmm, maybe.

For the moment

git diff | tee

solves it...

Thanks all commenting

Andreas' problem seems to be caused by the terminal emulation provided
by Emacs' shell.

In any case, rather than configuring each tool, you can set the PAGER
environment variable for your shell when it's run under Emacs in the
~/.emacs_SHELLNAME file.  I use PAGER=cat.

Yes sure I'm not saying it's bad to use a terminal in emacs, just saying
that for this tasks there are much better instruments..

I normally have many shells open outside of emacs, mostly because to
compile I use M-x compile and when I have to launch a short command I
just use M-!, which is much faster then going in the shell...

Strange that I didn't find any option in git diff to disable the
automatic "paging", but it should be possible...
