Enter the following code in terminal or git bash.

You can now generate a visual tree style log, open your shell

  sudo aptitude install monit
  sudo aptitude remove monit

Allow colours and other inline styles in Redmine
================================================

Textile inline styles are disabled in Redmine >=0.8 for security reasons.

If you want this feature and don't fear XSS attacks as you don't have projects with public write access, you can change this in /lib/redmine/wiki_formatting/textile/formatter.rb :

    self.filter_styles=false

Restart Redmine after the change!
