How to input "#" in the Git commit window?
It always turns into a comment when I type "#".

Besides configuring a different comment character you can use the --cleanup
option, git commit --cleanup=verbatim
means do no cleanup at all on the message text.
Git's got a command for answering simple questions like this, git help
, try it, you'll like it. I found the answer to your question by saying git help commit
and reading for less time than it took you to type your question.

Check out the core.commentChar
configuration. https://sadique.io/blog/2013/04/14/configure-gits-comment-character/. It allows you to configure which character is used for comments, so you can set it to something other than # and then use # at the beginning of the commit message.
You can set this option like:
git config core.commentChar ";"
