Stuck after git log command

entered the git log command. At the end of the log I have this:

commit e2028409c786175d0a4d6f58a366d19a9ebf30a4 Author: gfinchitown gfinchitown@me.com Date: Wed Jun 18 13:41:33 2014 -0700

Added a README file

(END) No matter what key(s) I press I can't get back to to my repository. Nothing happens and I just get a beep when keys are pressed.

Figured it out. Is it me or does it seem as if pieces of info are left out and assumed with this course?

Hi Gary,

I'm glad you've figured it out, but I think that they leave things out on purpose in order for us to do some research on our own (e.g. looking at the Git documentation itself, http://git-scm.com/doc). I do recall that the instructor did comment on how to get out of git log...

I'm pretty sure the necessary commands are explained in the Console Foundations course. It's a prerequisite on the Web Development track I'm on right now.

No, I just did the Console Foundations and I am constantly stuck. I think it's because of the editors that are being opened. I got stuck with git commit too. It opened an editor that required a different set of keys to exit than had been explained before. I believe the editor is called VIM and the way you exit is by typing :q to quit. If you are in it to do the commits, so therefore you've added material you need to save, you type your commit message, then hit ESC and then :wq (write, quit)
