From: Pavel Roskin Date: Fri, 22 Apr 2005 01:42:17 GMT Subject: [PATCH] Colored log on any ANSI capable terminal Message-ID: <1114134137.12771.7.camel@dv> Hello! setterm only works on Linux terminal. It should be safe to use raw ANSI sequences -they work on most terminals, including xterm. Nobody forces you to use the "-c" option to "git log" on those stone-age terminals that neither support nor ignore ANSI color codes. I'm aware of $'...' but it may not work in bash 1.x.
