--git does nothing if git config file has a multi-line value about exa HOT 6 OPEN

I don't think it's the nix package, as I'm using 23.05 (amd64) as well and --git works fine. The unstable channel build is built from more recent commits, so has this issue.

Thank you. I did further tests and noticed it's working when run in clean environment. So after bisecting, I found that if HOME variable is set, then git status is not shown 🤔. I'm quite puzzled now...

Any ideas besides wrapping it to drop HOME on the package level?

Turns out the problem is with the multi-line config values in git config files. My git configuration files include definitions of delta them like here and these multi line values break exa --git, despite being officially supported by git

This is weird, it may be an issue in libgit2… Does this happens with the active fork eza?
