Environment variables

git-nested reads these environment variables.

Variable

Effect

NO_COLOR

Any value turns colored output off.

FORCE_COLOR

Any value turns colored output on, also in a pipe. NO_COLOR wins.

SHELL

completion uses it to guess the shell, if the parent program does not tell.

git-nested runs git. So git’s own variables apply too, for example GIT_SSH_COMMAND or GIT_TRACE. See git(1).

For development

Variable

Effect

GIT_NESTED_EXE

The tests run this executable instead of the Python module. See Development.
