Bug Description
<!-- A clear and concise description of the bug -->
Claude Code is unable to run very simple bash command line commands. I've asked it to run:
- git commands
- pwd
- echo "hello"
Steps to Reproduce
- Install Claude Code (tried via npm, shell script and brew)
- Run claude in any directory
- Ask to run pwd or to run echo "hi"
Expected Behavior
Expected it to run the commands
Actual Behavior
Hung until it hit the 2 minute timeout
Additional Context
<!-- Add any other context about the problem here, such as screenshots, logs, etc. -->
Surprisingly it can list files in a directory, it says List(.)
If this doesn't get fixed can i please get a refund I switched from Cursor to this and its practically unusable since it can't execute many command line things.
