Add no-pager option to git branch

[nix6839]

To use install.sh in an automated script when there is no no-pager option, the user must press q directly. It's so terrible.

[ljharb]

Can you elaborate on the problem you’re seeing?

Adding this argument seems fine, but hundreds of thousands of people, including me, have used the install script and not had to press a key to complete it.

[nix6839]

While running the installation script, the following screen displayed and I must press q to continue the installation.

# Install nvm
curl -o- 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh' | bash

# Displayed during installation.
* (HEAD detached at FETCH_HEAD)
  master
(END)

The following is information about installation environment

echo $SHELL
/bin/zsh

$SHELL --version
zsh 5.8 (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)

git --version
git version 2.33.1

Thank you

What else is in that script before the curl? How do you run the script? Do you have any git config related to a pager?

[nix6839]

Run as follow

chmod +x ./test.sh
./test.sh

test.sh content

#!/bin/sh

echo asdf
curl -o- 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh' | bash

You can see my other script in: https://github.com/nix6839/dotfiles/blob/master/resource/run_once_script/install/node.sh (See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nix6839/nvm/no-pager/install.sh as https://raw.githubusercontent.com/nvm-sh/nvm/v0.39.0/install.sh)

Thank you

[ljharb]

That all seems simple enough. What about your git config?

[nix6839]

[user]
    user.name = b
    user.email = b
    user.signingkey = b
[commit]
    gpgsign = true
[pull]
    rebase = false

However, if I run rm ~/.config/git/config and git config --list is empty, it still works the same.

Thank you

One more question :-) what's echo $PAGER say?

[ljharb]

There's a few other git branch commands; they should presumably all have it?

Does git v1.7.10 have --no-pager?

[nix6839]

echo $PAGER says less, but if i run unset PAGER, it still works the same.

The other git branch commands are probably not needed.

git v1.7.10 has --no-pager
You can check that here: https://github.com/git/git/blob/v1.7.10/Documentation/git.txt#L14

Thank you

[ljharb]

Let's update the PR to add --no-pager to all the git branch commands, just in case.

[nix6839]

Okay everything is done.

[nix6839]

Thank you for your hard work.
