Git Bash on Windows with Ruby: Waiting for gets() input before printing prompt?

Question

I'm new to programming/Ruby and can't figure out this quirky issue...

Running this Ruby code through Git Bash on Windows:

$ ruby test.rb

puts "Give me input: "
input = gets
puts "You gave me #{input}"

does not print the "Give me input: " string before waiting for input with gets() as it should. Instead it immediately waits for input before printing the prompt and the result. I've tried using $stdout.flush after the prompt puts() but the output remains the same.

Every other terminal I've used works fine though.

Answer 1

As @user11659763 noted, setting STDOUT.sync = true fixes the output so that it is always flushed after each call to puts or print, as is desired, in Git Bash.
