fzf not working in git bash windows 10

[ghost]

• [x ] I have read through the manual page (man fzf)
• [ x] I have the latest version of fzf
• [ x] I have searched through the existing issues

Info

• OS
  • Linux
  • Mac OS X
  • [x ] Windows
  • Etc.
• Shell
  • [ x] bash
  • zsh
  • fish

Problem / Steps to reproduce

Installation via scoop.
scoop install fzf
It's working out of box for cmd/powershell but on git bash all I can do is fzf --help
When i use fzf in git-bash it seems to start but nothing happens.

I saw that behavior on the default git bash terminal. I'd suggest you to use a different terminal like windows terminal.

I am also experiencing this issue.

EDIT: I now realize this is a know behavior: https://github.com/junegunn/fzf/wiki/Cygwin

I found the solution, fzf not wroking on git bash
but you can use

winpty fzf

or in .bashrc file for git bash (idk if it exist or not)

alias fzf  ="winpty fzf"

I am working on this issue in MSYS2 + mintty environment.

winpty solves the problem when stdin is a tty, but hangs when stdin is a pipe (same as #2255).
This means that the CTRL+R and CTRL+T functions provided by key-bindings.bash are not available.

I am trying the following wrappers and so far they are working fine in my environment.

fzf_winpty=~/.fzf/bin/fzf-winpty
cat >"${fzf_winpty}" <<'EOF'
#!/usr/bin/env bash
set -eo pipefail

prefix="$(basename "${BASH_SOURCE:-$0}")-${UID:-$(id -u)}"
tmpdir=$(mktemp -dp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}" "${prefix}.XXXXX")
trap "rm -rf -- '${tmpdir}'" EXIT

args=
[[ $# -ge 1 ]] && args=$(printf ' %q' "$@")

if [[ -t 0 ]]; then
  winpty </dev/tty >/dev/tty -- bash -c \
    "command fzf${args} >'${tmpdir}'/output"
  cat "${tmpdir}"/output
else
  cat - >"${tmpdir}"/input
  winpty </dev/tty >/dev/tty -- bash -c \
    "command fzf${args} <'${tmpdir}'/input >'${tmpdir}'/output"
  cat "${tmpdir}"/output
fi
EOF
chmod +x "${fzf_winpty}"
fzf() { "${fzf_winpty}" "$@" ; }

Thank you @knutze. @junegunn: Could a check such as

if [ "$TERM_PROGRAM" = "mintty" ]; then fzf() {
  OLD_SHELL_OPTS=$(set +o)
  set -eo pipefail
  # Generate a unique temporary directory based on the script name and user ID
  prefix="$(basename "${BASH_SOURCE:-$0}")-${UID:-$(id -u)}"
  tmpdir=$(mktemp -dp "${TMPDIR:-/tmp}" "${prefix}.XXXXX")
  trap "rm -rf -- '${tmpdir}'; eval \"$OLD_SHELL_OPTS\"" EXIT

  # Prepare arguments for fzf command
  args=
  [[ $# -ge 1 ]] && args=$(printf ' %q' "$@")

  # Check if standard input is a terminal
  if [[ -t 0 ]]; then
    # If it is, run fzf directly using winpty and output to a temporary file
    winpty </dev/tty >/dev/tty -- bash -c \
      "command fzf${args} >'${tmpdir}/output'"
    cat "${tmpdir}/output" else
    # If standard input is not a terminal, read from standard input to a
    # temporary file
    cat - >"${tmpdir}/input"
    # Then run fzf using winpty with input redirection
    winpty </dev/tty >/dev/tty -- bash -c \
      "command fzf${args} <'${tmpdir}/input' >'${tmpdir}/output'"
    cat "${tmpdir}/output" fi
  }
fi

not be added to the shell setup of fzf ?
