How to exit git log or git diff [duplicate]
I'm trying to learn Git with the help of Git Immersion.
There's one thing that frustrates me whenever I use git log
or git diff
:
I can't figure out what to do next when I encounter this (END)
word.
I can't type any commands, and I end up closing the current Bash window and open another. How do I type in the next command that I want to use?
You're in the less
program, which makes the output of git log
scrollable.
Type q to exit this screen. Type h to get help.
If you don't want to read the output in a pager and want it to be just printed to the terminal define the environment variable GIT_PAGER
to cat
or set core.pager
to cat
(execute git config --global core.pager cat
).
Actually, there are three ways to do it, precisely.
Type any of the following 3 commands.
- :q
- :z or
- Ctrl + z
P.S.: Sometimes, for someone, one of these options doesn't seem to work and for others it works.
