I want to add git bash to the windows terminal, however, when I add a new git bash tab in the terminal the git bash opens in a different window.

Here's my configuration:

{
    "guid": "{--------------------}",
    "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,
    "closeOnExit" : true,
    "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
    "commandline" : "C:\\Users\\anonymous\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Git\\git-bash.exe",
    "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
    "cursorShape" : "bar",
    "fontFace" : "Consolas",
    "fontSize" : 10,
    "historySize" : 9001,
    "icon" : "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
    "name" : "Git Bash",
    "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
    "snapOnInput" : true,
    "useAcrylic" : true
}

Output:

What am I missing?

I don't know if that's the correct solution, but I tried changing it to open the sh.exe in the bin folder, with the argument --login and it works now.

EDIT

As mentioned in the comments, bash.exe can also work. (Anything in the bin folder)

    Yes, this is an appropriate solution, use any of the shells in the 'Git/bin' directory, you can also use `bash.exe` instead of `sh.exe`. – estherwn May 23 '20 at 08:22

    It's the "correct" solution if you want a bash instance that doesn't open in a new window. However that bash doesn't have a git command. I named it "NoGit Bash" in my config, and "Git Bash" still opens in a new window. – Wes May 28 '20 at 11:30
  • Haven't you noticed issues with messed up output of logs when running builds in bash.exe or sh.exe? When I run the build from git-bash.exe, I don't see any log output issues.. – hipokito Jan 12 '21 at 10:06

    whats the difference between `\git-bash` and `\bin\bash`? – Tuor May 19 '22 at 04:04

    is `\bin\bash` git-related, or is it just regular MinGW bash? – Tuor May 19 '22 at 04:20
  • Choosing `C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe` worked for me. – Bartleby Jul 20 '22 at 18:14

If you installed git using scoop, you can use C:\Users\xxxxx\scoop\apps\git\current\bin\bash.exe as command line

Select git-cmd instead of git-bash while adding profile in terminal an change the starting directory in settings by selecting Git Bash profiles.

My settings:

    {
        "commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\git-cmd.exe",
        "guid": "{******************************}",
        "icon": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\git-for-windows.ico",
        "name": "Git Bash",
        "startingDirectory": "C:\\xampp\\htdocs"
    },
