Can't use arrow keys in Git Bash (Windows)

I am trying to setup semantic UI in my repository and for some reason I can't use the arrow keys to select menu options in Git Bash.

Git bash doesn't support an interactive terminal.

Use the regular windows terminal or powershell

Hey man its been a while, but I literally just ran into this issue. the solution for me was to manually delete and type > or use gitbash in VSC integrated terminal mode
