This is expected behavior of the Bash you are using. The commands that I
think would reflect your intentions would be:
git init brackets
cd brackets
echo 'asd' > 'bra[ckets].txt'
git add 'bra[ckets].txt'
git commit -m initial
git show 'HEAD:bra[ckets].txt'
You could also escape the brackets with a backslash, as you did, but you
would have to do it *every* time you write the path, not just in the `git
add` incantation.
Ciao,
