gh help mintty

gh-mintty is a help topic in the GitHub CLI describing known compatibility issues between gh and MinTTY, the default terminal emulator shipped with Git for Windows. MinTTY lacks proper pseudo-console support, which breaks gh's interactive prompts.Three workarounds exist:1. Reinstall Git for Windows with "Enable experimental support for pseudo consoles" checked.2. Run `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe` from a different terminal emulator (e.g. Windows Terminal), which provides access to Git for Windows tools without MinTTY.3. Prefix gh commands with `winpty` (e.g. `winpty gh auth login`), though this can cause UI rendering bugs.

Windows-specific topic. The `winpty` workaround may cause UI bugs. The experimental pseudo-console option in Git for Windows is the most complete fix.
