"stdin: is not a tty" error on git pull

Question

I try to pull change from a remote repository but it doesn't work anymore.

When I type git pull and I enter the password, I'm still getting this stdin: is not a tty.

This is a screenshot:

I had a similar issue while committing or pushing to github. See log:

$ git push
stdin is not a tty
error: failed to push some refs to https://...

I was able to fix the problem by upgrading the git hooks created by husky:

$ npx husky

I'm using the following versions:

• git: 2.24.1.windows.2
• husky: 4.0.0
• mintty 3.1.0 (x86_64-pc-msys)

To fix this, add this to your .bashrc, before sourcing global /etc/.bashrc, so pretty much the top. This is especially for cpanel shared hosting.

# Prevent "stdin: is not a tty" errors
if [ $(expr index "$-" i) -eq 0 ]; then
    return
fi

Not only will the error disappear, you will then also see the output error.
