Using Visual Studio 2022, I want to use the Git menu option Open In Command Prompt to open a Git Bash terminal as opposed to cmd.exe.
How do I configure VS to do this?

You may be able to do this by changing the [default terminal](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/44435697/vscode-change-default-terminal) to Git Bash. – Jeff Martin Mar 22 '22 at 11:58

Hi @JeffMartin, that's for VS Code, rather than Visual Studio 2022 – StuperUser Mar 22 '22 at 11:59

While not integrating to that menu, I was able to add git bash to the terminal window.
By choosing View > Terminal (or ctrl + ') and then selecting the settings cog and setting the following:
I am able to open a gitbash shell from within VS.
Note, that by setting the Shell location to C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe, the console loads a new instance of the console in its own window, by setting it to C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe, it is integrated in the Terminal Pane.

Further to your own answer @StuperUser, you can set the Terminal up as follows:
This was taken from my Windows Terminal config when it added the Git Bash profile automatically. The arguments are -i for interactive and -l for login shell.
You could also try Mads Kristensen's Open Command Line Extension - it kind of works but has some quirks.
