Git want to show more than one screen of information to you, to do so it call the standard unix pager program less
. Just type q to return to the prompt when you no longer want to navigate in the output.
- j move one line down
- k move one line up
- <space> move one page down
- b move one page up
- h show the help
If you want to use git efficiently you should learn the basic unix tools. Even if git build and run on windows it’s pretty much an alien software on the platform.
If you don’t want less
just replace it with another pager in the configuration. If you don’t want a pager at all just use cat
:
git config --global --add core.pager cat
