OpenAI ChatGPT Pro

gpt-5.3-codex

What platform is your computer?

Microsoft Windows NT 10.0.26200.0 x64

What issue are you seeing?

Really, really, difficult for the bot to use git bash.

No, I don't want to use WSL, this is a home machine, I'd rather repave it with ubuntu then run anything in a VM.

Repaving it with ubuntu is more work that I'm up for when pretty much every other agentic coding tool can use git bash without drama.

• I’ll rerun the same Bash diagnostics now so you get fresh output at the bottom of the terminal.

• Running echo $BASH_VERSION; echo $0; pwd; uname -s

• Ran for i in {1..3}; do echo $i; done
└ ParserError:

codex

What steps can reproduce the bug?

open codex from git bash and ask it to run any bash-only command

What is the expected behavior?

It should run a bash command. Kilo, Claude, etc all do this more or less without any extra help.
