No more colored plus's and minus's in reply to a commit/push

[EvanAad]

I work exclusively via the command line (macOS Mojave 10.14.4).

It used to be that in reply to a commit (or maybe to a push; I don't recall which), I would get a list of the files committed (or pushed, as the case may be), and next to each file there would be a row of colored plus's and minus's indicating how many additions and how many deletions occurred in this file.

This row was very helpful.

Unfortunately, I don't get this row anymore. In fact, I don't even get a list of files.

Is there anything I can do to restore the old behavior?

Hello Evan,

This does sound like strange behavior to have a color scheme present and then it disappeared altogether. To understand a bit more, could you please clarify the following so we may attempt to recreate or see the issue?

• Are you on Bitbucket cloud or server?
• What is your git version locally? (git --version)

Once we have this information we will see if we’re able to find the cause of your missing color scheme and file list.

Hi Stephen. Thanks for replying.

1. I don't know whether I'm on Bitbucket cloud or server. Is there any way I can find out?

2. My git version is 2.10.1

Hello Evan,

Thanks for confirming the version of git you’re presently using.

To see if you’re on Bitbucket cloud or server we can use your Bitbucket URL to figure this out. If your Bitbucket URL has bitbucket.org as the primary domain, then you’re on cloud. If your Bitbucket URL does not contain bitbucket.org, then you’re using a server product.

This information will help us narrow down where the issue may be of your missing response when committing or pushing.

My BitBucket URL is bitbucket.org

Hello Evan,

I reviewed release notes and documentation for Bitbucket cloud and could not find any mention of this change occurring. This type of response is more on the git side itself. I would be curious to test something to see if you’re able to see the added (+) or removed (-) annotations when making a PULL request (git pull).

Here are the resources covering PUSH and Commit with an expected return:

• Push updates to a repository
• Add, edit, and commit to source files
• This does show an example of: 6 files changed, 1 insertions(+), 1 deletions(-)

If you do believe this was functionality that was in the product but has since been removed then we would urge you to create an issue for this. Please navigate to Bitbucket cloud new issue and fill out the requested information for your issue.

Regards,

Thanks, Stephen.

Yes, I am able to see the added (+) or removed (-) annotations when making a PULL request (git pull).

Maybe I got confused with the feedback from a pull request.
