We can enable pagination for output of git commands on a one off or permanent basis depending on our needs.
One off
To enable paging on a one off basis, pass the -p or --paginate switch to the git command you are running:
git -p help -a
See 'git help <command>' to read about a specific subcommandMain Porcelain Commands add Add file contents to the index am Apply a series of patches from a mailbox archive Create an archive of files from a named tree bisect Use binary search to find the commit that introduced a bug branch List, create, or delete branches bundle Move objects and refs by archive checkout Switch branches or restore working tree files cherry-pick Apply the changes introduced by some existing commits citool Graphical alternative to git-commit clean Remove untracked files from the working tree clone Clone a repository into a new directory commit Record changes to the repository describe Give an object a human readable name based on an available ref diff Show changes between commits, commit and working tree, etc fetch Download objects and refs from another repository format-patch Prepare patches for e-mail submission gc Cleanup unnecessary files and optimize the local reposit
Here we passed the -p switch to the git help command, and the resulting output is paginated.
Permanent
To enable paging, update the pager.status configuration and set it to true:
git config --global pager.status true
WARNING
Note that if the -p or --paginate switch is passed to the command line, it will take precedence over the pager.status configuration setting.
