Redefine Terminal does not work when starting VS Code - visual-studio-code

I can live with it, but...
I have changed the terminal from PowerShell to git bash in the settings:
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash"
This does its job. When I create a new terminal, it is git bash by default.
However, when I start Visual Studio Code, it opens with a PowerShell terminal. (All new terminals are git bash terminals.)

To set the default terminal in VS Codem , you should follow this steps:
Open VS Code
Press CTRL+Shift+P / ⇧⌘P and search for terminal select default shell
Make your selection and press enter (In my case I chose Git Bash)
All of your new terminals will now default to your choice 🎉
I hoped this helped you.

Git Bash opens several times before using in VSC

I've tried integrating Git Bash in VSC as an internal default terminal, but whenever I run VSC or open a terminal section a few standalone windows of Git Bash open and close immedietely. After that Git Bash works properly in integrated window. I want to avoid these pop-ups, but cannot solve the problem.
Standalone windows (https://i.stack.imgur.com/UY3E4.png)
My .json file is:
{
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash"
}
I've tried using various json commands, such as
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
I also reainstalled both git and vsc. I haven't encountered this issue on my other PC.

Visual Studio Code - Where is the terminal history saved?

I noticed that the command history is saved when using Visual Studio Code. Using the arrow up and down keys, I can toggle through previously issued commands in the integrated terminal.
Where is the terminal history saved on the drive? Is it possible to open a file in notepad (or notepad++) and investigate the complete history, delete it?
I'm using Windows 10, and I have concluded that deleting the folders C:\Users\john\.vscode and C:\Users\john\AppData\Roaming\Code will not delete the terminal history for a particular project.
VSCode terminal use external shell. For linux the default shell is bash, I am not so sure about window, but I guess the default shell for window is powershell.
If your terminal shell is indeed powershell, this should help you locate the log file.
On Linux & MacOS, type the following command to display the path of the history file:
echo $HISTFILE
The history file may be different between VSCode and your regular terminal.
So you should type this command within the integrated terminal.
On Ubuntu you can see your history using this command:
vi ~/.bash_history
