Cmder: Console doesn't show typed letters after quitting `git log` on Git Bash

Created on 28 Nov 2017  路  5Comments  路  Source: cmderdev/cmder

I'm using Git Bash via Cmder. I've run git log, scrolled trough some commits and then pressed CTRL+C to exit. It turns out that console doesnt show letters that I'm typing but console still works and executes commands normally, I won't see letters appearing on the screen but they still are "there" and after pressing Enter the command executes and I get response. It occurs only on Git Bash (default cmder and powershell works normally)

Two things -

  1. Try to avoid Control+C to kill the command. When git log outputs its long text, : prompt, type q to quit the text viewer.
  1. To fix a broken console where typing is gone, type reset and press enter. This resets the bash console, and fixes the issue where the echo doesn't show what you type. Found that hint elsewhere on the internet. It does clear the windows though, so you may lose your log output.

I have the same problem!

Is there a solution to this problem apart from restarting git bash?

:q

2. To fix a broken console where typing is gone, type **reset** and press enter. This resets the bash console, and fixes the issue where the echo doesn't show what you type. Found that hint elsewhere on the internet. It does clear the windows though, so you may lose your log output.

thx, its worked!
