Problem:

How to copy / paste text from git?

Text select and Ctrl-C + Ctrl-V does not paste the copied text. And there is no Edit / Copy / Paste menu item.

Solution:

gitk supports the normal X clipboard, thus

1. 1. Select text, Ctrl-C to copy.


2. 2. Paste text into X terminal window used to start gitk ! It does paste here.


3. 3. Next do copy / paste again to any of your editor / tool.

Voila !
