Hello, the problem is exactly the same as what was reported here on stackoverflow: c# - Git for windows seems to create sub-processes that never die - Stack Overflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/69579065/git-for-windows-seems-to-create-sub-processes-that-never-die
Additionally I have found out that: - a Git for Windows subprocess is created for each repository and every time a git command is issued this process grows in size and it never dies. - you cannot delete the .git folder from the terminal, but it works via file explorer - deleting the .git folder kills the Git for windows process - creating changes in several repos creates multiple processes, and sometimes the process is created as a subprocess

Hope this helps,
Thanks for making git awesome :)
