This is indeed an annoying, but solvable, less default. You can eg use `export LESS="-XF"` to change behaviour.

It took me way too many years before I set this as a default in my profile files.

The funny thing is. I kept missing this detail every time I read through git. Feels like I was blind to the whole concept of it

That's useful, although I don't know if I will enable it for generally or specifically for git.

I had the same issue specifically with git, for the same reason. You can configure git to not use a pager by setting core.pager to an empty string.

Then export PAGER= in your shell profile should help!

Unfortunately not all programs respect an empty PAGER vs an unset PAGER. It's more reliable to use PAGER=cat

`git config --global core.pager cat` will fix this.
