title: Why is git hanging - have to press enter twice after commands?
body: <p><strong>Edit: Summary: Every command entered in Git produces a hanging cursor which then says "bad input" if anything is typed before enter is pressed. No commands produce any results. I tried a fresh install with no results.</strong></p>
  
  <p>I am <em>completely</em> new to Git. No idea what I'm doing whatsoever. (I'm on a Mac)</p>
  
  <p>I was following the basic instructions on the site:</p>
  
  <pre><code>touch README.md
  git init
  git add README.md
  git commit -m "first commit"
  git remote add origin git@github.com:aerovistae/MetPetDB-Mobile.git
  git push -u origin master
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But as soon as I type in "git init", the terminal hangs. I press enter, nothing happens, the prompt doesn't start a new line...it just starts a blank line with no blinking cursor. I press enter a second time, the prompt returns, having skipped a line in the terminal, and now waiting for my next command.</p>
  
  <p>I don't really understand what's going on here, and I'm not sure if something's wrong or not.</p>
  
  <p>EDIT:</p>
  
  <p>Git was installed from the main downloads page.</p>
  
  <p><a href="http://git-scm.com/downloads" rel="noreferrer">http://git-scm.com/downloads</a></p>
  
  <p>After I hit enter on <code>git init</code> I get the blinking cursor on a blank new line, and after a moment I hesitantly typed in <code>Testing</code> and hit enter again. It then spat out, on the next line, <code>bad input: Testing</code> and showed me a new prompt.</p>
  
  <p>I tried reinstalling, but to no avail. I try other git commands, like <code>git config --global user.name "Meeeee"</code> But it doesn't matter. They all produce the same hanging.</p>
