shell - force git status to output color on the terminal (inside a script) -


i see color because scripting robust enough (so far) handle color codes. seem i'm going against grain here, don't see big deal having parse stuff escape codes in scripts. if colors interactive use, why wouldn't in script use might aggregating data , crunching more data manually? wouldn't colors even more important?

anyway, have neat little shell script wrote munges git status output, , i'm looking make script keep colors intact. global git config set lists of changed , untracked files show in color in git status. unfortunately unlike git diff there no option forcing color git status can find.

to abundantly clear, issue: 

$ git status

produces perfect output, (excerpt script follows)

git status | sed "s/^#/\x1b[34m#[0m/"

produces no colored git status output, , can see here i'm explicitly converting leading hash-characters blue because helps highlight different regions of output script.

does know how put out colors? there maybe standard program can use can used "fake terminal" stdin/stdout pipe? in fact working on pty pseudoterminal tool make use of purpose, it's rather heavy-handed solution (and not ready use yet haven't finished building it).

to avoid changing git config, can current command passing config variable -c:

    git -c color.status=always status | less -rex

that variable status command only. diff, show , log variable color.ui:

    git -c color.ui=always diff | less -rex

note -c must become before status or diff argument, , not after.

Why does Ruby on Rails generate add a blank line to the end of a file? -

running rails generate controller foo home results in: class foocontroller < application controller def home end end (there's nothing on line in actual file, blank line) is there purpose blank line? it's common use newline indicate end of line, last line. many editors (like vi, use) add in newline silently. consensus text files (especially in unix world) should end in newline, , there have been problems historically if wasn't present. why should text files end newline? the tool used count lines in file "wc" counts newlines in file, without trailing newline show 3 instead of 4. it improves readability of templates used in generator. consider: https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/railties/lib/rails/generators/rails/controller/templates/controller.rb to remove trailing newline, template have last line of: end<% end -%> instead of: end <% end -%> that seems less readable me. the discussion below refers ...
