Enabling Git syntax highlighting for Mac's terminal

Question

I miss the Git syntax highlighting I had on Windows for every "git .*" command like green staged filenames, some bolding, etc.

How do I enable Git syntax highlighting for Mac's terminal?

Answer 1

git config --global color.ui auto 

Answer 2

For seeing different colors for the diff command, use:

git config --global color.diff true 

To globally change colors for most commands, use:

git config --global color.ui true
