Question

How do you exit from a git log

Answer 1

If you hit q + enter, it will exit for you

I thought just "q" by itself would usually exit the git log viewer... but maybe you have to hit enter?

Answer 2

For any Mac users, the default command is to press ESC, and then type :wq

This is the way to exit the vi or vim text editor. Maybe the git log viewer is using vim to display the log, although I thought it was a simpler viewer that popped up, which you should be able to exit by just hitting "q".

Answer 3

Ctrl + x (here is some extra text because Lovelace requires at least 12 characters)

This is the way to exit the nano text editor. Maybe the git log viewer is using nano to display the log, although I thought it was a simpler viewer that popped up, which can be exited by typing "q".
