How to select a different type of command shell in the Visual Studio Code integrated terminal

Question

I looked at this link which talks about changing the default command shell in the integrated terminal of Visual Studio Code. I was successfully able to change it to Git Bash usi

In recent version (1.15.0) you can

• change the settings, then run the terminal, you've set
• then change the settings again and run the another type of terminal by pressing the + sign
• and so on...

You can put this in your settings file, and uncomment which one you need.

// 64-bit cmd if available, otherwise 32-bit
//"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\cmd.exe"
// 64-bit PowerShell if available, otherwise 32-bit
//"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
// Git Bash
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
// Bash on Ubuntu (on Windows)
//"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Windows\\sysnative\\bash.exe"
