In Visual Studio Code on windows. The key binding Ctrl + Shift + C opens a new external terminal.

By default, this opens a cmd console. Is there a way to change this default terminal because I want to use git bash instead.

I do know that the command answers to the "ComSpec" environment variable, but changing this variable to the path of the git bash throws this The console closes with the code 126

Use this setting:

Terminal > External: Windows Exec

with something like C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe or wherever your git bash is installed.

That is for opening an external terminal. For the integrated terminal within vscode, use:

Terminal > Integrated > Shell: Windows

with "C:\\\\Program Files\\\\Git\\\\bin\\\\bash.exe"
