Cygwin/Git Bizarre Terminal Issue
- by emptyset
Alright, this is weird. First off, this is mintty running on up-to-date cygwin, with git pulled from cygwin's setup.exe. I am running zsh.
$ git clone https://<user>@<domain>/<repository>/ ~/src/project/dev
Initialized empty Git repository in /cygdrive/c/src/project/dev/.git/
Password: <actual password in plain text appears>
# Nothing happens...
^C
$ <password text that I just typed>
zsh: command not found: <same password text>
What is going on here? Is this a terminal problem, a shell problem, a git problem, or a cygwin problem?
Update: Yes, I'm running the Cygwin git version, not the Windows version:
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
$ git --version
git version 1.7.1
$ /cygdrive/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Git/bin/git.exe --version
git version 1.7.0.2.msysgit.0
