Those ESC [ ... m are exactly the ANSI color-controlling sequences. ESC stands for an ASCII control character with the code 0x1B, '[' and 'm' are literally these characters, and the stuff in between defines "an action" to be done regarding colors. "ESC [" starts the sequence, and 'm' terminates it. > A clear sign, that I need to configure my command shell, > *but* I'd stick `less -R` at the end. > Works nicely and gives me precisely what I was looking for > *thanks again* for your help 😁 Well, it's good it worked for you but still it's a bit strange that whatever you call these commands in (I assume it's a terminal emulator) is unable to interpret these color-controlling sequences. Even Windows console emulators learned to cope with them. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
