Try running:

git config --global color.ui auto

This will activate colorful output for all git commands (in particular
for `git diff' too).

Then, when you run `git diff' from a terminal you will see whitespace
errors (eg. trailing whitespace) highlighted with a red background.

Hope it helps,
Octavian

I've got to try that.

Thanks Octavian.

Well, that's what I love about git the most -- the pretty colored output :P

Glad I could help.

Added this to the wiki. Can't find a way to create links to sections
within the page though; the ids of the sections are regenerated on
each save.

I use kconsole. Maybe it is the problem ??

Something that starts with ESC[ is an escape sequence, it clearly
shows that git is coloring the output, but your terminal isn't
interpreting this.

I also use kconsole (konsole actually, KDE terminal emulator right?).

I see two possible causes:

1. You set color.ui to always and you're using less or another pager
that doesn't support color. You don't need to use a pager in git diff.
Normally, if you set color.ui to auto (or true), then color escape
sequences are only enabled when output is a terminal (not a pipe or
file).

Instead of `git diff | less' just use `git diff'. If you really want
to use less, `git diff | less -r' should work with colors (-r enables
interpreting color escape codes in less).

2. Your terminal is not properly configured and colors don't work. Do
you have colors in other commands, like in ls?

Maybe this helps: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=511623

I have $TERM set to xterm. What distribution are you using? Maybe you
can google for an answer on how to configure your terminal emulator to
work with colors.

Git automatically invokes a pager, as given by your 'core.pager' setting 
(see 'man git-config').  It defaults to 'less'.  If you're not getting 
color, check your LESS environment variable.  Unset it to use Git's 
default settings (which should work with color escape sequences), or set 
it to something like "-R".  See 'man less' for more options, obviously.

If the above all seems correct, try a different or newer terminal 
emulator to help diagnose the problem.

I think you want these to show up in your editor while writing the
code, not after the fact. "set list listchars=tab:»·,trail:·" for vim,
but I'm sure any other half-decent editor will have equivalent
functionality.
