Thoughts below partly for my own reference, and partly in case anyone else – including but not limited to Panos! – manages to take things further before I do. I can't see anything obviously wrong here. There's two key oddities that might be causing problems, though: - Cygwin is installed in `C:\Program Files\Cygwin`; that _should_ work, but it's atypical, and spaces in filenames are a common source of problems. - This is a relatively old installation; I've not checked anything else, but Cygwin Git v2.21.0-1 was released in May 2019 and there have been a bunch of updates since then. I can't remember anything with these symptoms from that time, however. I'm also curious about the Git configuration here, as I can see a bunch of ways that could cause problems. I don't have the Cygwin bin directory in my path to test this immediately, but for example `git branch -a` will try to call a pager – `less` by default` – so I could imagine there being a PATH problem or similar that's resulting in a duff pager call that's eating the output. -- Problem reports: https://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: https://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: https://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: https://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
