This sounds weird, as ANSI colour controls do not differ among terminals. What if you set TERM=cygwin or unset TERM before `winpty mvn`? What's even weirder is that I cannot even reproduce the test case, as `winpty mvn` tells me "Could not start 'mvn.exe': The system could not find the file. (error 0x2)", although `mvn` works.Hi Corinna, On Thu, 5 Apr 2018, Corinna Vinschen wrote:On Apr 4 19:07, Thomas Wolff wrote:* As some people may object such a magic (and it might in fact raise unexpected problems), it could also be made dependent on a setting in the CYGWIN environment variable.Nah. If it improves the situation, nobody will complain. However, it may slow down calling native Windows apps considerably when used a lot from scripts.We suggest `winpty` quite a bit in Git for Windows' bug tracker. And it is not without problems... for example, when calling Maven in MinTTY via `winpty mvn`, the `TERM` variable is still set as appropriate for MinTTY, and consequently, the color codes of Maven's output show up as ugly special characters...
