colors not showing up

[tnguyen14]

I added the colors for diff-highlight in my .gitconfig as instructed, however the output of git diff | diff-highlight does not output any colors.

Could there be something that I am missing here?

git diff --color | diff-highlight should work.
But I use git config --global core.pager "diff-highlight | diff-so-fancy | less -r" so any diff related commands will use diff-so-fancy :)

Thank you. Using the --color flag worked.

When I tried the config to setting core.pager as you suggested, I see an issue with indentation being off, as such:

        quotepath = false
        editor = vim
  pager = diff-highlight | diff-so-fancy | less -r
        # editor = subl -n -w

Can you open another issue if it's not related to your original one? It would be helpful if you could include a screenshot. Thanks.
