When pressing q to exit git log, the log quits successfully, but the "q" also prints following the next prompt

Reproduction:

$ git log
...           # <first section of log prints...>
:             # q pressed to exit
$ q           # q exits, but q is not eaten

Is this a configuration issue? I am using Git for Windows v2.27.0.

The problem does not occur in PowerShell/CMD, and also does not occur when using e.g. less on a large text file.

git-bash git

This problem has since been fixed. I'm not sure in which version, but 2.33.0.windows.2 does not have this issue.

That may be the case because you may have left the git log automatically so you don't have to press ":q" that was the case for me while I used the git bash on windows. In case it was cat you wanted to exit press ctrl + d.

I hope this answers the question.
