Configure Visual Studio Code integrated terminal

With version 1.2.0 Visual Studio Code added the option of configuring the integrated terminal the default windows terminal being cmd.exe

You can change it by editing the terminal.integrated.shell.windows property in the user or workspace settings.

For example if you want to use Git Bash instead you’ll have to set it to:

“terminal.integrated.shell.windows”: “C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\sh.exe”

There are of course properties that allow configuration for all operating systems.
