How can I quickly scroll down the output of git co

问题:

I have to show my commits using git show c36432. The files are very big and it sometimes takes a long time to go line by line.

What can I do to move fast, like page by page? I am using iterm as terminal on Mac OS X.

Press the space bar. By default, git uses the less pager to display long output, and the space bar moves down a page at a time in less.

Other less keyboard shortcuts also work, such as typing / followed by a word you want to search for, which can be handy when searching a Git diff or log.
