Re: [git-users] diff on ubuntu 12.04
This is just to see what the system thinks your pager is. $ type pager # type pager Hi Konstantin, Thanks a lot for your help with this. This (above) was the key right here. At some point, I had put the dir that I had installed R at the front of my $PATH variable instead of at the end, so it attempting to use the R pager instead of /usr/bin/less. I changed this and now I no longer need sudo to access this git function. Thanks again, Bart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Sounds a bit insane, but people repeatedly post questions on SO having problems after cloning a repo as root (for bizzare reasons) and then attempting to work with it as a regular user. (Well, Git usually seems to complain about this loudly but let's pretend your case is special.) The simplest way to check is to run $ ls -lR | less in your work tree and look for something suspicious. A more elaborate and automated way would be to run $ find . \! \( -user you -a -group you \) -print in your work tree with you replaced by your user name and primary group name (or whatever group your project directory is supposed to have; usually it's the same as your user name).

[git-users] diff on ubuntu 12.04
Hello, I apologize if this is a repeat post, but I haven't been able to find this issue referenced. I'm running git on Ubuntu 12.04. Most of the commands work fine, but I'm having trouble with git diff displaying any output. If I run: $ git diff $ on a repo that definitely has changes, I do not see any output. If instead I run: $ sudo git diff I get the expected git diff output, spread over multiple pages. I installed git using apt-get, but there seems to be some sort of permissions error. Is there a certain git core file that I need to change the permissions on? Thank you, Bart -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Git for human beings group.

Like this: $ export GIT_TRACE=1 $ git diff Do the same for the sudo case; but this should be handled differently (since, I think, sudo might sanitize the environment): $ sudo su ... # export GIT_TRACE=1 # git diff You can then try to compare what gets called in each case.
