On Windows, in the cmd shell, the color control caracters generated by the Google Repo tool (or its
windows port made by ESRLabs) or git appear as garbage. Unfortunately, the Google Repo tool, besides the fact it has a non-google-able name, lacks documentation regarding its options, so sometimes the only way to find out what is the option I want is to look in the code.
To avoid repeatedly look over the code to dig up this, future self, here is how you disable color output in the repo tool with the info subcommand:
repo --color=never info
Other options are 'auto' and 'always', but for some reason, auto does not do the right thing (tm) in Windows and garbage is shown with auto.
