Hi!

Your report misses lots of information required to even approach it:

- What Git version are you using (the fact is: in each next version of
  a software package some bugs get fixed and others might creep in;
  so knowing an exact version is paramount).

- What OS? Version, flavor, architecture (32/64 bit).

- What software package (i.e. where did you get your Git install from)?

From the term "git bash", I gather you're talking about Git for Windows. If so, that project has its own bug tracker on Github [1] -- because it's still a project sort-of separate from the "vanilla" Git due to the fact it maintains a set of changes not yet in the Git proper, and they do packaging work, too.

Please use that issue tracker in two steps:

1) Search it for your issue.  Say, remove the "is:open" modifier from
   the search box in the tracker's web interface, put there the words
   "git", "bash" and "crash" and search.  I'm sure you'll get a hefty
   amount of reports.  Please see whether your issue is already
   reported.

2) If yes, and if (and only if) you have additional details about it,
   please summarise them in a comment.  Please try to write that in
   plain English (plain bad non-native English is okay :-)); try not to
   post links to pictures or videos.  They aren't indexed by search
   engines and require the maintainers to switch their context when
   reading your report/comment.  On some platforms (say, w/o proper
   full-blown web browser) they can even be plain hard to even see.

3) If no, write your report there -- by filling the offerred template.

Thanks.
