Hi,
I wrote recently some aliases to not clutter my screen when I want to check something quick:
$ head -n4 ~/.gitconfig [alias] df = -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' diff sw = -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' show st = -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' status
Now, `git df` and `git sw` work as expected: they open a less window, and it's later closed with `q`, with no traces in my screen except for the command itself.
However, `git st` doesn't seem to work. It prints everything to screen, and then exits.
You can reproduce it on the command line too:
git -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' diff # OK git -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' show # OK git -c core.pager='less -+F -+X' status # Not OK
Cheers, Alex
P.S.: While sometimes I want to check quick something without cluttering my screen, I don't recommend anyone reading this to run these aliases as a norm. I prefer using the ones that leave traces on the screen, since that way it's simple to recover from rebase accidents, which at least to me, happen rather often. This is only for cases where I have something important on the screen which I don't want to hide (previously, I would open a new terminal to check something quick on git).
