Description
Prerequisites
- Write a descriptive title.
- Make sure you are able to repro it on the latest released version
- Search the existing issues.
- Refer to the FAQ.
- Refer to Differences between Windows PowerShell 5.1 and PowerShell.
Steps to reproduce
Repro steps:
$session = New-PSSession -HostName xxx.xxx.com -UserName Lin
enter-PSSession -Session $session
$env:GIT_TRACE=2
$env:GIT_SSH_COMMAND="ssh -vvv"
git pull origin main
NOTE, if I ssh into command prompt on remote machine, git works fine. This is why I think maybe the bug is in PowerShell. In other words, the following works fine:
ssh Lin@desktop-n9cin42.amd.com
lin@DESKTOP-N9CIN42 C:\Users\MyGitRepo> git pull origin main
Expected behavior
git commands run successfully
Actual behavior
git pull command hangs

Research direction
Start by reproducing the listed New-PSSession and Enter-PSSession commands on PowerShell 7.3.3 and Windows 10, then compare them with the direct SSH command that succeeds. Investigate the difference in how git pull origin main runs in those sessions; done means the command completes successfully over the PowerShell session instead of hanging.
