bash how to exec a command not exit?

Question

I had a command:

"D:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -c "git log -2"

but when I exec the such shell script, it print the result and quick exit.

I search bash refrence:

-c

Read and execute commands from the first non-option argument command_string, then exit.

I do not want exit. I want the command can pring log and hold on, so I can see it.

So what should I do?

Simply D:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe will run an interactive Bash shell if it is correctly configured. If (as it seems) you are on Windows, there may be additional complications. I always recommend removing Windows from the equation if you can. — tripleee

Three options (at least):

Install git properly in your Windows, so you can just run git log directly, without the need to run bash first.
Run the same command you used in a Windows console.
Run the same command, only with another command that waits for any key to be pressed, like:

"D:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe" --login -c "git log -2 ; read -n1"
