Why is git hanging - have to press enter twice after commands?

Question

Edit: Summary: Every command entered in Git produces a hanging cursor which then says \"bad input\" if anything is typed before enter is pressed. No commands produce any

Answer 1

Hmm perhaps you are in a directory which is not writable?

Normally you can create a directory.

mkdir test
cd test
git init

then you init an empty GIT repo in the test folder and you should see a folder named ".git" which is hidden. Perhaps you can try to build a bare repository.

git --bare init

But your problem sounds a bit strange. Du you run your command with all rights?
