The Git for Windows project, however, does ship\nGit bash, and you can report this problem to them at\nhttps://github.com/git-for-windows/git/issues.\n\nI would suggest reading the contributor documentation and seeing if you\ncan pin down more about why it's not working, since the report as it\nstands seems unlikely to be resolved. I feel confident that Git for\nWindows 2.50 actually works fine for many people on Windows 11 Pro, so\nthe more information you can provide about what might be going on, the\nmore likely it is that your bug will be addressed.\n\nBest of luck with your problem.\n-- \nbrian m. carlson (they/them)\nToronto, Ontario,
