As the answer https://stackoverflow.com/a/10584237/1850340 did not work for me because of my color settings I came up with following solution:
TAB=$'\t' && git config --global core.pager "sed 's/$TAB/ /g' | less" && unset TABThis replaces all tab characters with 4 spaces before displaying it with less.(The TAB workaround is needed to circumvent the shells backslash escape)
