Description

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Install git for windows https://gitforwindows.org/ I tested with 2.41.0, but same problem with older versions
  2. Install juliaup
  3. Install Julia 1.9.1 using juliaup
  4. Launch git bash
  5. type julia

Result:
You cannot enter anything in the Julia REPL, it just hangs. You can terminate it with ctrl c

Expected result:
Julia REPL works when julia is launched from the bash console.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the hang with Git for Windows 2.41.0, juliaup, Julia 1.9.1, and Git Bash using the listed steps. Trace how juliaup launches Julia from that shell and compare its terminal input handling with a working console. Done means the Julia REPL accepts input when launched from Git Bash.
