When I use the git branch command to list all branches, I see the output of git branch | less. The command git branch is supposed to show a list of branches, like ls does for files. This is the output I get: How do I get the default behaviour of git branch? What causes the paged output? My .gitconfig looks like this: [user] email = myemail@mail.com name = Dennis H. [push] default = simple [merge]
