If you want Git Bash to be displayed as one of the options while selecting a prompt in Windows Terminal, you can do two things.
If you are following the installation of Git Bash, make sure to select the option "Add a Git Bash Profile to Windows Terminal" on the Select Components screen.
If you already have Git Bash installed and do not see the option, then follow the below steps.
- Locate where Git Bash exe has been installed on your Windows (based on x86, x64, or ARM installation location under Program Files)
- Launch Terminal app and click on ▼ arrow and select Settings.
- Edit Settings and in profiles.list add the profile for Git Bash.
{ "guid": "101", "name": "Git Bash", "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe", "icon": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico", "startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%" }
- Save and restart Terminal App.
