How does one change the language of the command line interface of Git?

Question

I’d like to change the language of git (to English) in my Linux installation without changing the language for other programs and couldn’t find the settings. How to do it?

Answer 1

As Bengt suggested : Add these lines to your ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile to force git to display all messages in English: vim ~/.bashrc - for this profile (if you are user ubuntu and you edit this it will be only for this user); add this lines:

# Set Git language to English
#alias git='LANG=en_US git'
alias git='LANG=en_GB git'
#you can add also 
LANG=en_GB

and after you close the file you need to write in shell:

source ~/.bashrc 

to reload new settings or exit the terminal and connect again :)
