What do you see in your terminal if you type this: ? |
| 21 |
printf '\033[1;34m+RC_VERBOSE="no"\033[0;0m' |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
If this is ok, then you know that your terminal is ok, and there is |
| 24 |
something with colordiff... |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
Do you have any alias or function around colordiff? |
| 27 |
|
| 28 |
What if you use diff_command=/usr/bin/colordiff ..... ? |
