How to confiure Git Bash on VSC MacOS

Question

How do you add the Git Bash terminal to Visual Studio Code in MacOS?

I am not able to see the "Configure Default Shell" option.

Answer 1

Git bash is a program that ports bash along with some command line tools for use on Windows. Bash is currently the default shell on mac so you don't need to install it in any way. If it is some tool missing that came with Git Bash you can search for install <tool> on mac into Google and find a guide.

If you don't want to use the same shell in VSCode as standard on your machine you can specify it by adding "terminal.integrated.profiles.osx": "<shell>", to your settings.json (Can be found by clicking the {} icon up to to right in settings"). <shell>can be one of the specified shells that is displayed when running cat /etc/shells.
