Git Bash mysql blank

Question

I\'ve installed Git (bash?) from www.git-scm.com I also have a working installation of MySQL. I\'m using windows 8.1. The path to my mysql bin directory IS in my path environmen

Answer 1

I had the same problem with git bash and mysql, and solution to this is to use

winpty mysql -u root

I guess this is because you are running mysql for windows, using unix environment, and as far as I know winpty should be used for running windows applications in the git bash (not 100% sure, maybe someone can confirm).
