i am *strictly* against all this truncate and autopaging and for me "GIT does the same" is no argument - a mistake is not better because others do the same.............
if i want paging i do " | less" or " | more" *this* is the unix way of work
but who am i...............
While I'm no more important than the next guy, I'll defend the auto-pager feature of both git and journalctl. I love it, in fact. I'm no stranger to very long pipelines and sub-shells but I see nothing but benefit in not having to add "| less" routinely to things that are UI in nature. These auto-pagers get out of the way immediately if you need a pipeline, so what's the harm? In fact, you can still "journalctl | less" or the like if you really want to.
