Hi everyone,
I am a new user of git and I was trying to configure the pager for git and ran across something. Is it possible to have different command options to less for different git commands?
I wanted to set my pager to `less -iRS' when looking at patches (so that would mean commands like `git diff'), but would prefer `less -iFRS' or even the git default `less -FRSX' for all other things e.g `git log'.
I looked at core.pager and pager.<cmd> but I couldn't understand how I could set different pagers for say just one/ a subset of commands (git diff in my case).
Is this possible? If not, would it be a worthwhile feature request? Thanks a lot for any pointers.
