Recently, I upgraded from git 2.14.1 to 2.14.2, and noticed that "git add --patch" does not work properly. It just prints a diff of what's changed and exits, instead of presenting the dialogs to add changes to the index. I did some bisecting and tracked the bug down to this commit: https://github.com/git/git/commit/136c8c8b8fa39f1315713248473dececf20f8fe7. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the codebase and don't know C well enough to debug the issue. Please let me know what additional information I can provide to help you all figure it out. Thanks! -- Jake ``` ## Stefan Beller, 2017-10-06 18:13 Subject: Re: git add --patch displays diff and exits Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/CAGZ79kZBKhg7buTDXZxG7mtr7gLE0ZmJkPFSd0xUCyTiuR2rng%40mail.gmail.com In-Reply-To: ``` On Fri, Oct 6, 2017 at 11:09 AM, Jake Bell wrote: > Hello, > > I'm not sure if this is the right place to report this issue, so apologies in advance if it isn't. > > Recently, I upgraded from git 2.14.1 to 2.14.2, and noticed that "git add --patch" does not work properly.

Please see https://public-inbox.org/git/20171003093157.gq7za2fwcqsouire@sigill.intra.peff.net/T/ and replace the color=always by color=auto setting to see if it fixes your problem. (If it doesn't we're dealing with a new problem and not the one reported more than 5 times already :) Thanks, Stefan > > -- Jake > ``` ## Jake Bell, 2017-10-06 18:13 Subject: Re: git add --patch displays diff and exits Message-ID: URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/B0494C9A-EDFC-4069-BAD1-8E5AFDD08C8F%40theunraveler.com In-Reply-To: <74010545-3186-4224-9A54-649284FB2933@theunraveler.com> ``` Sorry, please disregard---this is a duplicate of some other messages already sent to the list. Setting "color.ui = auto" fixed the issue for me. -- Jake > On Oct 6, 2017, at 1:13 PM, Jake Bell wrote: > > Sorry, please disregard---this is a duplicate of some other messages already sent to the list.
