Git bash Error: Could not fork child process: There are no available terminals (-1)

Question

I have had up to 8 git bash terminals running at the same time before.

Currently I have only 2 up.

I have not seen this error before and I am not understand

Answer 1

Open your Task manager, search "sh" procces and kill them. Good luck

Answer 2

Im my case, the solution was to close Visual Studio Code -where I had console running too without noticing-

After closing it all back to normal. Hope this helps someone.

Answer 3

To make life easier (this problems happens quite often) create a file called fixbash.bat in home directory and paste this:

taskkill /F /IM ssh-agent.exe

When problem occurs just open cmd and type fixbash.bat to fix a problem.

Or

Just paste the taskkill command into your cmd if you don't want to create a script.

Answer 4

Restart your machine.

(The other answers did not work for me. (I didn't try reinstalling. Restarting is probably faster.))
