List questions type does not allow navegation on git bash

[emartinpi]

Observed behavior
List questions display a list but arrow keys do not navigate between options (visually), although in an "invisible way" you can select an option. Enter does proceed to the next question with the "invisible option"

Expected behavior
List questions display a list that can be visually interacted with and select the desired option

Hi all,

"Git bash" on Windows is one of the rare terminals we cannot support. The problem is it is not a true interactive terminals which makes it incompatible with the redrawing of the screen inquirer is doing.

I believe there's now many good alternatives and built-in terminals in windows nowaday. I would recommend you using those instead. Personally back in the days I used powershell on Windows, it wasn't bash based, but other than that it was pretty good.

I'll close this ticket as there's unfortunately nothing we can do to support git bash.

Appreciate any suggestions on how to detect git bash so I can provide a helpful warning in our script.
