Mysysgit "(END)" displays, how do I proceed?

Question

While using mysysgit under Windows, I do not know how to regain control of the console windows after running git log in Git Bash. This seems simple yet I cannot find the key combination or command, so I find myself having to close the console window and relaunching a new instance of Git Bash to interact with git.

What is the key combination and/or command I need to exit the log viewer?

In case you're curious, you're looking at the default pager, called "less". Type `man less` in Git Bash or check out http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?less for more key bindings. — peterjmag, Jan 07 '11 at 17:23
@peterjmag – thanks! I wouldn't have even thought to consider that it's using the "default pager", tho that makes a lot of sense considering the platform on which Git was first developed. — Kenny Evitt, Jul 12 '13 at 16:07
"q" worked for me, specifically after paging through lengthy man pages ("man ls" for example). wacky bash shell. — Shawn J. Molloy, Mar 24 '15 at 19:04

If q does not work just type quit and enter. This worked for me.

-edit This was in power shell though.
