Re: Git bash 2.50.0(2) not working on windows 11 PRO 64bit
I’m trying to nail down the issue and bash quit without any message while loading the bash.bashrc file in /etc
The offending line is 57
"$(declare -p PS1 2>/dev/null)”
If I comment the related line and leave just
export PS1='\[\e]0;\w\a\]\n\[\e[32m\]\u@\h \[\e[35m\]$MSYSTEM\[\e[0m\] \[\e[33m\]\w\[\e[0m\]\n'"${_ps1_symbol}"’ 'Bash continues but then crash loading /etc/profile.d/git-prompt.sh
Then the offending line is 22
GIT_EXEC_PATH="$(git --exec-path 2>/dev/null)”
So I tried to run a simple:
VARIABLE=$(ls -al)
And guess what? bash crashed without any message
So it seems like any $(command) occurrence is crashing bash
Hope this could help to solve the issue, but the main question is: Am I the only one with this issue? Could it depend on some local configuration?
