Yes. If git outputs its own ANSI codes there, they generally look bad in an editor (interpreted as raw bytes, not as coloring). Any existing coloring you see is likely due to syntax highlighting done by your editor. You can extend that to match your desired format, but exactly how would depend on which editor you're using.
