Git for Windows

Windows Terminal

This disables git for windows "white screen" flashing on pressing the tab key when there are multiple options available. For example, hit tab in your home directory after ls D when there are both a Documents folder and a Development folder. Without this fix, there would be a white flash of the screen and possibly a audible bell sound.

Git for Windows does install an /etc directory, perhaps mapped within C:\Program Files\Git\etc and an /etc/inputrc file that includes set bell-style visible.

I just made a copy to my local folder and commented that bell style line as follows

cd go to your home directory in git for windows or the Window's terminal's Git for Bash profile.

cat /etc/inputrc > .inputrc

print inputrc content to .inputrc file in your home directory... don't forget the DOT

Now edit your local file

# before
set bell-style visible
# after
set bell-style none
