How can I set `less` or `more` max lines (scrollable height) limit/boundary in linux?

(Sorry for the title. Any suggestions?)
I've set my commandline PS1 to cover 3 lines:
white space
user, server and pwd
$ or # to input
I think less (or more?) is configured to break after window's height - 1, because when I do a $ git log, the first two lines are invisible at the top of the window and the rest is scrollable.
I'm not sure who handles this scrolling and its configuration, but I assume GIT uses less/more.
Where can I configure that my scrollable window is window height - 3 lines and not window height - 1?
More info:
If I cat lines.txt | less with a 23 line file, it shows the entire file and no scrolling.
If I do the same with a 24 line file, it doesn't show line 1 (and no scrolling).
With 25 lines: doesn't show lines 1 and 2 (and no scrolling).
With 26 lines: shows line 1 and scrolling!
The less breakpoint is at the wrong height...
