It is suggested that you use Git in Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) instead of Git Shell in Windows.

  1. git bash shell (on Windows) also uses shitf + insert to paste.

  2. Git bash shell use /c, /d, /e, etc. for root path of drives.

  3. It seems to me that git config --global core.fileModel has no effect on Windows. You can use git -c core.fileMode=false command as an alternative.

  4. Git diff origin/master..HEAD

  5. Git diff 15dc8^!
