I'm bothered by it because whatever git command that I'm executing will put its output in a pager and when I quit the pager it's not there anymore. I want the output on the screen when I start typing the next command. Oh my God, this is such a frustrating pattern.
This is indeed an annoying, but solvable, less default. You can eg use `export LESS="-XF"` to change behaviour.
Then export PAGER= in your shell profile should help!
Unfortunately not all programs respect an empty PAGER vs an unset PAGER. It's more reliable to use PAGER=cat
