After looking around for a bit, I discovered that there is also another set of exe's sitting in the folders next to the one containing git-bash.exe.
Then, what you need to do, is open the VSCode settings, add a profile and fill out the fields (We'll first focus on the name for the profile and the path that we just found):Īfter that, we just have to validate our new profile by opening a new tab by clicking on the "downward pointing arrow" and and then on the newly created "Git-Bash" profile:Īs you can see, the behavior is not at all what we expect as Git-Bash opens in a new window instead of a new tab! This is strange, but not a huge problem. In my case, but almost always this value is C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe (so you can save yourself the trouble work with this one)
TO WINDOWS TERMINAL DEFAULT WINDOWS COMMAND FULL
in the properties window that opens, you can find the full path to the Git-Bash exe in the field with name "target":.In the popup that opens, click on properties:
Right click the Git-Bash icon in the taskbar and then right click again on Git-Bash in the menu that shows: After that I'll show the correct approach!įinding the path to the Git-Bash exe can be done in 3 simple steps: The idea is that I first found a suboptimal solution (out of a naive approach), which I'll explain first. I discovered pretty quick that there was a catch and in this post, I want to show you what I did, why it didn't work and finally, how you need to approach this.Īll you need, or so I thought, is to add the exe of Gi-Bash to a new windows terminal profile. At that moment, I didn't realize that this would result in a blogpost 😉.
and I immediately showed him how this can be done via the settings of Windows terminal. First thing he asked then, was if it would be possible to add Git-Bash as a tab. This morning I saw a colleague working in Git-Bash and the good-old-fashioned "windows command line" and I thought to myself, why doesn't he "just" use Windows terminal? So, I showed him Windows Terminal and he was impressed.
