Git #hashtags 状态

Question

I moved between two machines and now all my git status commands outputs are filled with #

I have the same .gitconfig and .bashrc files.

Also tested making a new git clone, same happens.

On my old computer it looks normal:

On branch xxx
Your branch is up to date with 'origin/xxx'.

Changes not staged for commit:
  (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
  (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)

        modified:   xxx

On my new computer it's full of "comments":

# On branch xxx
# Your branch is up to date with 'origin/xxx'.
# Changes not staged for commit:
#   (use "git add <file>..." to update what will be committed)
#   (use "git checkout -- <file>..." to discard changes in working directory)
#
#       modified:   xxx

How do I remove those tags?

Answer 1

Older git versions just printed # in front of the lines in git status by default. And it was removed in newer version.

See https://github.com/git/git/commit/2556b9962e7c0353d562b7bf70eed11d8f29d0b0#diff-21ecaaf4e2318a39cdedf505941dbfbabd3329f041c839a03fb84906b4dae4fb this commit.

status: disable display of '#' comment prefix by default

Historically, "git status" needed to prefix each output line with '#' so that the output could be added as comment to the commit message. This prefix comment has no real purpose when "git status" is ran from the command-line, and this may distract users from the real content.

Disable this prefix comment by default, and make it re-activable for users needing backward compatibility with status.displayCommentPrefix.

Obviously, "git commit" ignores status.displayCommentPrefix and keeps the comment unconditionnaly when writing to COMMIT_EDITMSG (but not when writing to stdout for an error message or with --dry-run).
