When I use the "git log" command it is no longer implicitly piping through "less"

"did you try unplugging it and plugging it back in" I opened a new terminal and it stopped happening. I am still super curious though what in that other window's environment could be causing this, so I'll leave it open for awhile and if anyone has any ideas please let me know :)

See the config variable core.pager: "The command that git will use to paginate output. Can be overridden with the GIT_PAGER environment variable."

There are two parameters that might affect this: the core.pager Git variable, and the $PAGER environment variable. Check what you have with

git config core.pager
echo $PAGER

One of them should be set to less
