Git Bash on Windows 10 ignores Ctrl + C

I encountered strange issue with git bash after starting using Windows 10.

Sometimes Ctrl+C (and Ctrl+X) doesn't terminate running command on git bash But I can't found any dependency which circumstances related to such bug

What could I do to avoid such issue or to break running command when ctrl+c doesn't help?

This problem went away for me after upgrading Git for Windows from 2.23 to 2.37.

P.S. It always helps to include version information in your question.

I had the same issue during my maven (3.6.2) build.

When I was checking where the mvn command points to in my git-bash it turned out that the unix start script was invoked. As I'm a bit reluctant to change git-bash.exe to something else (you would never know what else breaks then) my solution was to introduce an alias in my ~/.bashrc:

alias mvn=mvn.cmd

This solved my issue for the moment. Other than spawning a cmd interpreter for the interpretation of the cmd file I did not find any drawbacks of it yet.

Regarding the cause: the mvn shell script uses exec as its last line, which I suspect as the cause. And this exec can only work with built-in git-bash commands; in our case maven execs the Windows java.exe.

The same happened to me when using:

C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe --login -i

But it was NOT present with:

C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\sh.exe --login -i

There does not seem to be any difference in behavior between the sh.exe in a folder and the bash.exe in a particular folder. Namely, bin\bash.exe behaves the same as bin\sh.exe, and usr\bin\bash.exe behaves the same as usr\bin\sh.exe
