<ul>
	<li>The problem occurs on Windows with Git Bash when the Git Bash console is closed/killed without using ‘exit’.<ul>
			<li>1. Close all Git Bash windows.</li>
			<li>2. Open Task manager (Keyboard shortcut: Control + Shift + Escape.)</li>
			<li>3. Find the ‘Git for Windows’ process.<ul>
					<li>If you do not see any "Git for Windows" processes, look for:<ul>
							<li>python</li>
							<li>msys2</li>
						</ul>
					</li>
				</ul>
			</li>
			<li>4. Kill any processes that are running that meet the above criterion.</li>
			<li>5. Re-open Git Bash. The problem should be fixed.</li>
			<li>See the Prevention heading below for how to avoid this error in the future</li>
		</ul>

</ul>
<p><strong>Solution 2 (if #1 did not resolve the issue):</strong></p>
<ul>
	<li>The problem may also occur due to VS Code's integrated terminal.</li>
	<li>Close any Visual Studio Code windows </li>
	<li>Check Task Manager for any Visual Studio Code processes that are still running and kill them.</li>
	<li>Re-open Git Bash. The problem should be fixed.</li>
	<li>See the Prevention heading below for how to avoid this error in the future</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Solution 3 (will always work but not convenient)</strong></p>
<ul>
	<li>If neither solution worked, restart your computer.</li>
	<li>While not convenient, it will solve the issue. See the Prevention heading below for how to avoid this error in
		the future.</li>
