MATLAB warns about terminal not being fully functional when using System command (!)

I try to use Bash commands (git) under Linux in MATLAB using the system command or its operator (!).

The command 'git log -1' yields the following behavior. How can I solve this?

The message says the following:

WARNING: terminal is not fully functional

This happens because when MATLAB's system command executes it uses its own environment and not the environment that MATLAB was first started from.

The following works because MATLAB can see and set the environment variable before running the git command.

system('TERM=ansi; git <any command>')
