The output of git diff usually looks like this:

diff --git a/tests/test_utils.py b/tests/test_utils.py
index 002d62aaf9..c28b23b0ed 100644
--- a/tests/test_utils.py
+++ b/tests/test_utils.py
@@ -1,3 +1,4 @@
+import os
 from datetime import datetime

Now I would like to copy+paste the path. In this case tests/test_utils.py

But unfortunately there is the prefix a/ before the path.

If I double click on the path the prefix gets included.

Copy+Paste of the path would be easier if there would be no prefix.

Is there a way to configure git to not output this prefix?

diff.noprefix

If it's set, source and destination prefixes are not printed.

git config diff.noprefix yes

yes could be 1 or true, case insensitive.
