1. Copy and paste in Git Bash.

Ans. Just highlight the part you want to copy and press INSERT button.  

2. Change the default location of Git Bash on Windows.

Ans. Right click on your Git Bash icon and select properties. Change the "Start in" entry with your git files location.

3. Caching your GitHub password in Git for windows.

Ans. Use this command "git config --global credential.helper wincred". It will ask one time for username and password. Note : You need Git 1.7.10 or newer to use the credential helper.

4. The ORIGIN Remote

Ans. When you clone a repository with git clone, it automatically creates a remote connection called origin pointing back to the cloned repository. This is useful for developers creating a local copy of a central repository, since it provides an easy way to pull upstream changes or publish local commits. This behavior is also why most Git-based projects call their central repository origin.
