What's Wrong?
I have a custom git alias to git is to let me interactively pick a branch using fzf. When doing ! git is in Claude Code, the command is pushed to the background then hangs indefinitely. It is reproduable with echo -e "apple\nbanana\norange\nmango\nkiwi\npapaya\ndragonfrui" | fzf.
What Should Happen?
The command should actually be interactive or fail because interactive in bash isn't supported.
