Git text invisible

Question

I have problems with using my GIT. Everything works fine when running the CMD and the '$' shows up and my text shows up. But when i go to my git log my text suddenly dissapears, It's just a ':' and i can type commands but not see them.

When i go out from the git log the text still is not appearing. I have a picture in my link below.

If i type CTRL+C 2 times i can see the '$' sign but the text is still gone.

Answer 1

I had this problem after exiting git log in windows git bash today, i fixed it by resetting the terminal using reset.

Answer 2

To exit the git log interface you must type :q.

Using Ctrl-C to exit less or another pager, will lead to the characters being swallowed (that is: not echoed to the screen). Using q will exit it nicely and the bash prompt will echo what you type.
