[Solved] Pressing enter produces ^M instead of a newline in the MAC/Linux

Error:-

So while working on the Terraform and running terraform apply came across a issue where terraform was asking for the confirmation of yes and after entering yes , the terminal did took it as an Enter rather was printing  ^M every time pressed enter. Due to which the terraform apply wont work.

Cause:-

The most likely issue causing this is the stty terminal line setting. To resolve this issue lookout for the solution below.

Solution :-

Note:- since you not able to enter in my case, i pressed ctrl+z which move the process in background which resulted in the terraform lock not getting released and further increasing my problem due to which i have to go and unlock the state forcefully.

Better way is to go with ctrl+c which prevents the state locking.

To resolve this issue try entering the following command

stty sane

Once you enter this , the problem of Enter printing ^M instead should be solved.
