Gitbash closes immediately, can't sign in to Github
crash, git-bash, github
Solution
I had the same problem. (Git Bash.vbs used to show for a split second and vanish)
In my case when I tried to run the Git.exe command from command prompt (by first navigating to the C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin), it gave me the following error:
couldn't reserve space for cygwin's heap win32 error 0
After running the following command my issue was resolved and Git Bash.vbs also started working properly:
`C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin>rebase.exe -b 0x50000000 msys-1.0.dll`
For more details refer the second answer of this question.
Edit: The problem and solution described above might not exactly be same for GitHub but should be similar.
Problem
I'm just getting started with GitHub and I'm trying to follow these instructions: https://help.github.com/articles/set-up-git I've downloaded GitBash but when I click on it, the window pops up for a split second and then disappears again. I've tried not using the shortcut, and uninstall/reinstall, but neither helped, and I don't know enough about it to do any additional troubleshooting. Even if you don't have a solution, some google search terms would be great - I don't know if there's a specific name for this kind of a problem. Thank you!
