Question: Question:
Without any special settings
git show branch_name:filename
When I ran, I used less to see the results
How can I pass the -N option to make this less display the line number?
Answer: Answer:
GIT_PAGER="less -N" git show .
The pager used by git is first referenced by the environment variable $GIT_PAGER , then by the setting core.pager , then by the environment variable $PAGER , and finally by the default pager set at compile time (usually the default pager). less ) is referenced.
See core.pager in man git-config for details.
If you want to change the setting permanently, add the setting with git config --global --add core.pager "less -N" .
If you want to clear this setting, edit .gitconfig .
