Sometime git status or git diff only show single color, it makes us difficult to recognize changed

In order to make git become colorful, we have 2 ways

Section configuration

vim .git/config

Create new section [color] and add like below

[color]
  diff = auto
  status = auto
  branch = auto
  interactive = auto
  ui = true
  pager = true

You can also make it in detail like this

[color "status"]
  added = green
  changed = red bold
  untracked = magenta bold

[color "branch"]
  remote = yellow

Or something like this

git -c color.ui=always status
git -c color.ui=always diff

Global configuration

This will apply to all project on your server

git config --global color.ui always
git config --global color.branch always
git config --global color.diff always
git config --global color.interactive always
git config --global color.status always
git config --global color.grep always
git config --global color.pager true
git config --global color.decorate always
git config --global color.showbranch always

Happy coding.
