How do you copy and paste into Git Bash

Question

I\'m using msysgit running on Windows XP.

Tried Ctrl+V, Right click, Middle click, google... no luck.

Answer 1

If you click at the icon on the upper left corner, a drop-down menu will appear, and you can find the option to copy/paste from there.

Answer 2

console2 ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/console/ ) is my go to terminal front end.

it add great features like copy/paste, resizable windows, and tabs. you can also integrate as many "terminals" as you want into the app. i personally use cmd (the basic windows prompt), mingW/msysGit, and i have shortcuts for diving directly into the python and mysql interpreters.

the "shell" argument i use for git (on a win7 machine) is:

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"

Answer 3

The way I do this is to hold Alt then press Space, then E and finally P.

On Windows Alt jumps to the window menu, Space opens it, E selects Edit and P executes the Paste command.

Get these correct in succession and you can paste a snippet in under 2 seconds.

Answer 4

Aside from using the edit menu commands, you can directly paste into the git bash window using the keyboard shortcut, Insert.

Answer 5

COPY:Click the title bar, choose mark, then select the content you want to copy. PASTE: Copy what you want to past, focus on the bash, hit the insert key on the keyboard.

Answer 6

Get Console2. You configure it to do it multiple different ways. Works with bash or Windows command prompts.
