Hi,
I've seen a few threads on RStudio terminal issues (e.g Cannot use terminal: no window contents - #4 by Aurele) but was not able to resolve on my system by toggling "connect with websockets" or changing between CMD Prompt, PowerShell, etc. The other options like "Local Terminal Echo" and "Save and restore environment variables" do not appear to be available in my RStudio version.
My terminal diagnostics and sessionInfo() are below. I'm running RStudio version 1.1.456.
I can open git bash from the "Tools/Shell/" menu item.
