error: cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory

[ghost]

If I do this, everything works fine:

> git config core.pager moar
> git tag

but if I do this, I get an error:

> git config core.pager 'moar -no-clear-on-exit'
> git tag
error: cannot spawn sh: No such file or directory

Set the environment variable export MOAR=-no-clear-on-exit globally, then git config core.pager moar.

moar reads config from that environment variable.

Or even better, do both of these and don't touch git's config:

• export MOAR=-no-clear-on-exit
• export PAGER=moar

That will make others use moar as well for their paging, not just git.

And it opens up for using riff as well :).

OK yes both ideas work, thank you!

If you ever look at git diffs in the terminal, you really should try riff to make your diffs more readable: https://github.com/walles/riff
