Why does rails console command freezes at "Switch to inspect mode."?

Question

In Michael Hartl's Rails Tutorial section 2.3.3 (A user has_many microposts), when I typed rails console in Git Bash:

$ rails console
Loading development environment (Rails 5.0.0.1)
Switch to inspect mode. 

It freezes at Switch to inspect mode. until I typed Ctrl-C.

I browsed through some similar/previous questions to mine but didn't find the solution that I'm looking for:

• ruby on rails console isn't working, I am getting"Switch to inspect mode" on windows (It's still resulted in Switch to inspect mode. after I ran $ irb)
• Unable to load "rails c" (error: "Switch to inspect mode") from within the otherwise functional command line inside of the RubyMine Jetbrains IDE (I use a combo of Git Bash plus Sublime Text instead of an IDE, such as RubyMine)
• When I run Rails Console it says "Switch to inspect mode" (No answer or best answer so far from this question)

Therefore, how can I bypass Switch to inspect mode. and access rails console?

Answer 1

Try using another console:

• problem for me occurred in the 'Git Bash' console (MINGW64)
• solution found with the 'rails console' (command prompt with Ruby on Rails) which works perfectly with irb
