颜色全线的git状态-s

Question

The command git status -s will output a short-format git status. The status of each file will be colorized, eg the M will be red or green; however, unlike the normal git status , the files will not be colorized. They appear the default color for your terminal.

Is there a way to colorize the files the same as their status' while still using the short-format output?

Answer 1

This is not directly possible with native git, as the t/t7508-status.sh test script illustrates:

test_expect_success 'status with color.status' '
    test_config color.status always &&
    git status | test_decode_color >output &&
    test_i18ncmp expect output
'

cat >expect <<\EOF
 <RED>M<RESET> dir1/modified
<GREEN>A<RESET>  dir2/added
<BLUE>??<RESET> dir1/untracked
<BLUE>??<RESET> dir2/modified
<BLUE>??<RESET> dir2/untracked
<BLUE>??<RESET> untracked
EOF

As you can see, the color is reset right after the short status indicator, and right before the filenames.

Note: the only evolution for now (Git 2.13.x/2.14, Q3 2017) is regarding the branches color.

status : add color config slots for branch info in " --short --branch "

Add color config slots to be used in the status short-format when displaying local and remote tracking branch information.
