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

Let us talk about copying contents first:

Since you've mentioned that you are using 'msysgit' on Windows XP

Option 1: Click on the Topleft icon > Defaults > Select "QuickEdit Mode" under "Edit Options" > Ok. Now select the text you want to copy and then press Enter.

Option 2: Click on Topleft icon > Edit > Mark. Press Enter.

Now that we know how to copy, let us talk about pasting the copied content:

Press Insert

Also, if the "QuickEdit Mode" is on, Right clicking might work as well.
