Problem with git (warning: shell level (1000) too high, resetting to 1, etc..)

Question

Wanted to learn git, so i donwloaded it and wrote some things. When I opened it today, it "crashed" my windows 10 and then showed a few tenths of errors. I tried to work in visual studio code, but when i write some git command like ls-la it shows me that it doesnt not recognize this command. It is probably that i am in powershell terminal.

Here are some pics:

I open the git

Windows crashes because git consumes too much ram

I try to close the git but this window pops out

And git after a while loads like normal

I try to use vscode but as I said, the ls -la command is not recognized

bash.bashrc file

Check for line in the file `.bashrc` that launches `bash`, and remove or fix it. That will cause bash to keep launching `bash`, which sources `.bashrc`, which launches bash, etc. Shell level 1000 means this happened 1000 times. The vscode terminal looks like powershell. `ls` is usually aliased to the powershell equivalent `Get-ChildItem`, where the flags `-la` are probably invalid. — dan, Nov 28 '21 at 14:22
I found bash.bashrc file in C:\Program Files\Git\etc but I have absolutely no idea which line is launching bash. — Gorge, Nov 28 '21 at 14:38
Maybe look at `/c/Users/GRZEG/.bashrc`. I thought maybe you added a bug here. But if you didn't change anything, try reinstalling, and reading the install/start guide closely. Also, I can highly recommend WSL as an alternative to git-bash. — dan, Nov 28 '21 at 15:19
@dan I uninstalled git completely and then installed it, but that still didn't work. Actually, I only want to use git in visual studio code, so what would I have to change in the settings for git to work properly in vsc? — Gorge, Nov 28 '21 at 15:56
I don't use vscode much, I'm not sure. I'm sure you can google it. One other thing I would try is to find another method to launch git-bash. For example `bash.exe` in powershell or start menu. — dan, Nov 28 '21 at 15:58

First, make sure (assuming VSCode 1.62.3 and Git For Windows 2.34.1) that:

you don't have a %USERPROFILE%\.bashrc at all (to avoid any side effect from its content)
you have added to your PATH (before launching VSCode) C:\Program Files\Git\usr\bin\ (which includes ls.exe)
you open in VSCode a Terminal / Git bash session, or even a regular CMD session, not a Powershell one.

Then ls should be recognized, and no fork process should happen.

@Gorge Would the latest 1.63/1.64 VSCode, with the latest Git 2.35.1 help? – VonC Jan 31 '22 at 19:46
how can i delete completely git and install lastest verision ? – Gorge Jan 31 '22 at 19:47
it didnt help . – Gorge Jan 31 '22 at 19:49
@Gorge Simply type `git update-git-for-windows` – VonC Jan 31 '22 at 19:50
'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. – Gorge Jan 31 '22 at 19:51
can i write that command in cmd ? – Gorge Jan 31 '22 at 19:51
@Gorge To upgrade, yes: you can try it. – VonC Jan 31 '22 at 19:51
i reinstalled and i am having crash in a second – Gorge Jan 31 '22 at 19:53
