默认Mac终端中对ANSI颜色的Git支持

Question

I modified default output of git log , to this:

git log --pretty=format:'- %C(#00C853)[%ad] %Creset%s' --date=format:'%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S'

In this format, default mac terminal does not display colors, but iTerm does.

As far as I understand, the problem is with rendering ANSI colors in default mac terminal.

Is there a way to make git support for ANSI colors?

Answer 1

From git-config...

Colors may also be given as numbers between 0 and 255; these use ANSI 256-color mode (but note that not all terminals may support this). If your terminal supports it, you may also specify 24-bit RGB values as hex, like #ff0ab3 .

I don't know how to get the Mac terminal to support Git's 24-bit RBG colors.

You can use the built in colors like %Cgreen . Or you can use the closest 256-color like %C(35) .

You can also turn on colors in general in your .gitconfig , though this has been the default since 1.8.4.

[color]
        # Turn on colors as applicable
