Overview
By default Visual Studio Code will open a PowerShell session when you launch a new terminal window. But what if you want something else instead?
Well you're in luck because in this article I'll show you how you can easily change the default shell in Visual Studio Code.
Solution
- Open Visual Studio Code
- Press CTRL + SHIFT + P to open the Command Palette
- Search for “Terminal: Select Default Shell”
- Select your preferred shell. In my case I selected “Git Bash”
