Environment: OS: Windows 7 Git: git version 2.13.1.windows.2 NodeJS: 8.1.2 Steps: 1. Create a js file with content const http = require('http'); const fs = require('fs'); const port = 3000; const app = http.createServer((req,res) => { res.writeHead(200); res.end("hi"); }); app.listen(port); its a simple server running on 3000 port. 2. Run command "node ./app.js" inside git bash. 3. hit "CTRL + c" (2 times) to kill the process. 4. If you look at taskmanager, then you will see a node.js process still running. or if you try to restart the server it will say port 300 already in use. Notes: 1. This was working on first version of Git 2.13, it broke after the first version. Thanks Regards, Gyandeep Singh
