Behavior of git and less in iTerm2 and Zsh - do not use separate view/alternate screen
Using less-like commands in Zsh with iTerm2, e.g. running git log --graph -n 3, git stash list, or less README.md, puts the output in a separate view. I would like the behavior to be more like cat where the output stays in the main window. E.g. when I am using git log, I want to be able to refer back to the commit hashes I just saw.
