Describe the bug
If you use native GitBash, you cannot choose, eg. vfox use and vfox search

NOTE: It's not vfox's issue, it's https://github.com/pterm/pterm/issues/616

Temporary solution

  1. https://github.com/ionic-team/ionic-cli/issues/2807#issuecomment-524421826

The best option I found thus far is:
install the Microsoft Terminal
create a Terminal profile for Git Bash
run git bash inside the Terminal
All interaction will work as expected while still keeping the benefits of Git Bash 💃

If you have bash as a VS Code terminal, running interactive commands there will work also.

Research direction

Start with the interactive selection paths exercised by vfox use and vfox search, then compare the reported behavior with pterm issue #616. The issue identifies pterm as the source and provides no repository file or test; done is not defined beyond restoring selection in native Git Bash.
