I really wish this issue would be reopened. There are tons of people who use Git Bash in favor of WSL. There are still various issues with WSL, while Git Bash works natively and works well.
The issue is fundamentally not recognizing the .cmd execution extension in windows. Just alias it out in the git bash shell wiht “alias az=‘az.cmd’”
It’s really annoying when we see very limited if any invested interest in understanding the actual problem. Many people including myself ran into this, so I figured I would solve it since I reverse engineered the problem for some other hacks.
Also, you really only need to pre-empt the login process using Windows Command Line or PowerShell.
