title: Using msys shell in Visual Studio Code
body: <p>I'm getting into Visual Studio Code as I like its lightweight design and flexibility. It has an integrated terminal that can run, I believe, any shell <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal" rel="noreferrer">[see here]</a>. I'd like to use it run the msys shell that I've been using lately. Setting the terminal to run another shell other than the default powershell.exe should be as simple as changing the settings as described <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings" rel="noreferrer">[here]</a>. However, I use the msys shell by running the msys.bat file, as recommended on mingw.org.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is, where is the .exe file I need to set the terminal to the msys shell? Or is running this shell without the .bat in this fashion impossible? Thanks!</p>
