The bower init configuration works fine for few seconds then it hangs up your terminal. The solution is found in on its documentation. It's not supporting MinTTY which causes this problem.\r\nHere is the solution:\r\n1. Uninstall existing GIT bash\r\n2. Reinstall GIT bash\r\n3. Set up during installation:\r\n3a: Select> Use Git form the Windows Command Prompt\r\n3b: Select> Checkout Windows-style, commit Unix-style line endings\r\n3c: Select> Use Windows' default console window"}}
