I'm trying to display git help branch without less into zsh using git --no-pager help branch. But it's still opens in less with the (END). So I have to close it every time q button and can not see the documentation while writing terminal commands.

What am I doing wrong?

CodePudding user response：

git help calls man and man uses its own pager configuration, it knows nothing about and doesn't obey git --no-pager. To configure or disable a pager for man use environment variables MANPAGER (specific) or PAGER (generic). Example:

MANPAGER=cat git help branch
