# Configuring The Pager
When you run Git commands that produce a bunch of output, Git will use a
pager to present the content starting at the beginning, rather than spitting
it all out to the screen at once. This will almost always come in handy for
commands like `git-diff` and `git-log`.
By default, Git uses `less` as its pager.
You can also choose to configure it to something else by updating your git
config file or by running the following command:
```bash
$ git config --global core.pager 'more'
```
If you'd like to turn the pager off altogether, set it to a blank string.
```bash
$ git config --global core.pager ''
```
