Commands that require interaction with TTY cause web-terminal to stop responding. #1

For instance, commands like sudo that require password from TTY directly cause web-terminal to stop responding. In this case the whole process has to be restarted.

The workaround for the time being is to issue sudo with -S argument to instruct sudo to ask for password on the standard IO. Example: "sudo -S npm install"

For Git, passwords have to be stored to avoid this problem; "git config credential.helper store"
