title: How can I turn on a pager for the output of git status?
body: <p>I want the output of <code>git status</code> to be returned in a <code>less</code>-like environment. This already works for <code>git diff</code>, but not <code>git status</code>. I already tried adding the following to <code>~/.gitconfig</code>, but it didn't work:</p>
  
  <pre><code>[core]
    pager = less
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>What am I missing? Thanks.</p>
