It has already been reported that broot (like other crossterm based applications) isn't compatible with git bash. I'm sorry but I can't work on that. Other devs who want to tackle that problem are invited to do so (and maybe talk with Timon on https://discord.com/channels/560857607196377088/560857607196377090)

Thanks for the report, though, and please don't delete it, it's a clear one which may help newcomers.

Yep, no problem. I saw the other issue, but just wanted to raise this one specifically because it's about the ANSI escapes rather than generally being incompatible.

For me, once I've fixed my ~/.bashrc to source ~/AppData/Roaming/dystroy/broot/config/launcher/bash/br then I can get the app to run, but it's unusable because it's just a screen full of ANSI escape sequences.

If the escape sequences can be fixed then I think it would work fine in Git Bash for me. You can make out that it has actually worked within all those escape sequences and formatting problems:

Is this still an issue, or has it been fixed with the Windows Terminal improvements?
