git grep colors differ from grep custom colors

Question

I've setup grep colors in my ~/.bashrc :

export GREP_COLORS='ms=01;34:mc=01;34:sl=:cx=:fn=35:ln=32:bn=32:se=36'

They work for

• grep --color=auto
• grep --color=always

Unfortunately, those custom colors are ignored by:

• git grep --color=auto
• git grep --color=always

How to make git grep to use above $GREP_COLORS colors ?

Answer 1

You should explicitly configure colors in git's configuration file.

Interesting information are found in git-config man page, in particular look for the configuration variable color.grep.<slot>
