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.

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.
My VS Code used to show default intagrated terminal as a git bash (I chose it in settings). But after last update August 2021, when I open VS Code I see windows Powershell, but when you click plus it adds git bash. Earlier in both cases there was git bash
Can you give any advise how to choose git bash to be shown when vs code starts?
"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash",
At first open command palette by pressing below command
ctrl + shift + p
and search for
open setting (json)
click here
then change your setting.json file as below
click here
at last reopen visual studio code.
It is not showing Git Bash Option in while selecting terminal in VsCode
Make sure you have already installed Git for Windows
In VS Code, go to Command Palette (⇧⌘P) with Terminal: Select Default Profile or Terminal: Select Default Shell in older versions, then select available shell in this case, Git Bash, in the dropdown list.
Click on + sign next to terminal list as shown below:
At this point, the Git Bash should be successfully added.
PS. The list might disappear if the VS Code is closed. Only the default shell will show up. You have to do the steps above again.
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
How to integrate git bash in visual studio code? I typed " open user setting " then I am getting this window:
VSCode has support for git built in.
You might need to check that the directory containing the git executable is on your PATH environment variable. Alternatively, in settings.json, set git.path, for example:
{
"git.path": "d:/opt/git-for-windows-2.23.0/bin/git.exe"
}
You also need to install git first.
Following steps have to be followed to integrate Git Bash with Visual Studio Code:
Step-1
You have to open settings by File->Preferences->Settings or by pressing Ctrl+, AND click on the Open Settings(JSON) icon on the top right corner of vs code editor
Step-2
On clicking, you will see the settings page. You have to copy:
"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"
and paste at the last of all settings. Make sure that you have installed git bash on your computer.
Step-3
And that’s all when you will reopen VS Code then you will see that Git Bash has been integrated. Now you can run Git Bash commands directly in VS Code.
