Git Bash - ls command not working

[Frank Doyle]

Hi - unsure if this is the correct forum for this, but grateful for any help offered. 

I've installed Git Bash for Windows but can't seem to use the 'ls' command from the prompt. Other commands seem to work fine ('pwd' etc.) but typing ls and hitting enter seems to just result in a hang. No results are seen and Git Bash itself becomes unresponsive.

Any ideas, please?

What does 'type -a ls' (in the Git bash) say?

So the solution is clear: call '/bin/ls' explicitly and/or
make sure that '/bin' is in your $PATH *before* '/c/DevKit/bin' (whatever that is...)

HTH,
