I am using the tool Git for version control, I use Windows 8 and msysgit, after I have installed, the tool worked fine, but soon after, Git Bash no longer works, as if there were a problem with initialization, and the command prompt does not initialize (image below).

Git bash does not show prompt

I've tried uninstalling / reinstalling Git but the problem persite.

I noticed that the Git Bash process is consuming a lot of virtual memory and making the computer quite slow.

An excellent console for windows is the cmder .

In addition to numerous settings, it already includes msysgit. It's worth taking a look and see if it suits you.

If you want a better alternative than Command Prompt and Power Shell, use the ConEmu.
