title: VS Code - Cygwin as Integrated Terminal
body: <p>I would like to use Cygwin as the integrated terminal on Visual Studio Code on my Windows laptop (as this would give me use of the Linux terminal commands git and G++, etc.) but when I set the value for  <code>"terminal.integrated.shell.windows":</code> to the address of the Cygwin application (<code>.exe</code>) then it opens a new Cygwin terminal rather than remaining in VS Code. </p>
  
  <p>So my question is: can I use Cygwin integrated into the VS Code terminal and use that to use commands on it (<code>mkdir</code>, <code>rm</code>, etc.) but also use git commands and use it as an integrated compiler and debugger (for generically but for C++ at least)? And how would I go about this?</p>
