{
    \"terminal.integrated.shell.windows\": \"D:\\\\Prog         


        

Answer 1

For those using Git installed via Scoop, just use the Scoop's installation folder path:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "%USERPROFILE%\\scoop\\apps\\git\\current\\bin\\bash.exe",

Answer 2

Not sure about all but in my case, git bash location is changed into the appdata instead of programming file, so you can use same as mentioned:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Users\\{user_name}\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",

Answer 3

On Mac.

1. Right click Visual Studio Code Application, open new window. press
2. ctrl+` to open terminal in new window.
3. Enjoy your day.

-Batman P.S. Disregard, was looking at another page that was trying to create a separate window to run terminal in.

Answer 5

According to this vscoode GitHub Issue (#7286):

... git-bash.exe is a Windows application (with WinMain as entry), but bash.exe is a console application (with main as entry). To be used as integrated shell, the executable must be a console application, so that stdin/stdout/stderr can be redirected.

The recommended approach is to use:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"

Answer 6

I was infact looking for the solution to this exact problem. @JBD said it correctly however I would just like to add that the git-bash.exe file is kept seperate in the normal program folder of git.

{
    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "D:\\Program Files\\Git\\git-bash.exe" 
}

but what you need to link within vs Codes settings is a different file which will enable git bash to run within the vs code terminal. The path to that is in the "bin" folder within the "Git" folder.

{
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "D:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe" 
}

This will allow your git bash to run from within the terminal window of VS Code
