Hmm. It looks like you have fzf installed. (Let me know if you don't.)

Can you run

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=/c/apps/Kubernetes/kubectx  fzf --ansi 

and

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=/c/apps/Kubernetes/kubectx  fzf

I suspect one of these will fail and one won't

[dkirrane]

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=/c/apps/Kubernetes/kubectx fzf --ansi just hangs

FZF_DEFAULT_COMMAND=/c/apps/Kubernetes/kubectx  fzf
character set not supported

[ahmetb]

Does fzf alone work? (it's supposed to show files in that directory and let you choose from them)

[ahmetb]

I suspect this is some term weirdness. Thankfully we have an escape hatch for ignoring existence of fzf.

Set this in your .bashrc or .zshrc:

export KUBECTX_IGNORE_FZF=1

Ya fzf doesn't seem to work in GitBASH

$ fzf
character set not supported

Uninstalled it and kubectx is working now from GitBASH

chocolatey uninstall fzf

Thanks
