Display problem in tmux about git-stats HOT 7 CLOSED

I use tmux everyday, but this looks like you haven't enabled 256 colors in tmux.

Put this in your conf file:

set -g default-terminal "screen-256color"

I also have the following in my .bashrc:

export TERM=xterm-256color

I don't know which ones enables 256 colors, but you can try and tell me. 😄

Oh, both of them don't work. It may be the problem of my Ubuntu. The tmux in my Mac OS just works like a charm without any other configuration.

@tobegit3hub Please post your tmux version (tmux -V). In the meantime, check if starting tmux using tmux -2 solves the problem.

➜  ~  tmux -V
tmux 1.9a

tmux -2 works well like a charm even though I don't know why. Thanks 👍

It may be the issue of tmux, not git-stats.

tmux -2 forces tmux to support 256 colors. Anyway, this is definitely a tmux issue.

/cc @lcristianiim Any explanations why tmux -2 fixes the problem?

from git-stats.

For some reason tmux can't start with 256 colors suport. On my machine I always start tmux with tmux -2.

Until now I did not find a better solution.
