Learning GIT. I tried committing a group of files, below you can see where I got to.
Asking for the commit comment/message but once I get to this screen, I am not able to input any text, everything I try, it will not let me enter any text into the window once it gets to this screen.
I am using the msysGit version with a program called Console 2 which is just a wrapper holding the msysGit command line tool
Any ideas why it would do this
Git is using the “Vi” text editor by default. You need to add this to your Git config file:
This file may be blank if you do not have one yet. Add this line and then save using Ctrl-X:
Nano is a more straightforward to use text editor for what you want to do.
If you don’t have nano installed on your platform (as is the case in standard installs of Windows 7), you can optionally use Notepad++, or try this setup program to use standard Notepad instead.
