Description
**Doctl says unknown terminal, when trying `doctl auth init`:**
So, I have been using doctl on Windows via the [Git Bash](https://git-scm.com/) utility, powershell isn't my thing. I download the doctl.exe to bin directory in my home folder. And invoke it using git bash CLI.
This used to work just fine till 1.36 but upon trying `doctl auth init` on a fresh Windows 10 install I am getting this error:
```
Ranvir@WestWind MINGW64 /
$ doctl auth init
Error: unable to read DigitalOcean access token: unknown terminal
```
This is easily circumvented using PowerShell, but with Git Bash the error is very annoying. Since this wasn't an issue in previous releases, but is an issue now, I thought I will share it with everyone.
Hopefully, we aren't relying on Windows' underlying brokeness.
**Environment:**
OS: Windows 10, 1909 up-to-date
Arch: x86_64
doctl version 1.37.0-release (downloaded from GitHub releases page)
**Additional Details:**
Using the --trace flag doesn't print anything extra than what is mentioned above.
