What's Wrong?

Whenever I try to use claude anywhere, it asks for using claude in that folder, but then it gets stuck, completely, with no errors, i even tried using --verbose but no errors were printed.
I am kinda skeptical this has already been issued but I'm not sure, i already searched and the issues are slightly different, because mine is just claude code being frozen at startup after the folder permission screen.

What Should Happen?

Open the TUI chat app as expected.

Additional Information

I also tried the Git Bash terminal app but that didn't change anything. I verified everything was installed correctly and it was.

I also tried adding "env": {
"CLAUDE_CODE_GIT_BASH_PATH": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
}
to the settings.json file but that didn't change anything either.
Also tried the "Enter" trick that most said worked, but for me, it didn't.
To regain control of my terminal, I have to create a new terminal window and remove the old one.
