We don't currently support git bash as a terminal.
Could you try again using WSL?
Hey thanks for the answer, I will give WSL a try.
However, it did work after I downloaded and installed it the first time, is there no way I can reset all the side effects created by the first initialisation?
We are working on Windows support without WSL - sorry if you're having issues with it in the meantime.
I tried for HOURS to get Claude Code to work on Windows 11 Pro. WSL also, but I couldn't spend more time trying... Had ChatGPT & Claude Desktop trying to get it work too... Wasted over 12 hours trying... Hopefully it works better on Windows soon...
