title: How to select a different type of command shell in the Visual Studio Code integrated terminal?
body: <p>I looked at <a href="https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal" rel="nofollow noreferrer">this</a> link which talks about changing the default command shell in the integrated terminal of Visual Studio Code. I was able to change it to Git Bash using the below setting in the <strong>settings.json</strong> file. You can open <strong>settings.json</strong> file by pressing the <kbd>Ctrl</kbd> + <kbd>,</kbd> or from <strong>File</strong> → <strong>Preferences</strong> → <strong>Settings</strong> menu:</p>
  <pre><code>{
     &quot;terminal.integrated.shell.windows&quot;: &quot;C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe&quot;
  }
  </code></pre>
  <p>There is a <kbd>+</kbd> sign in the integrated terminal with the help of which you can have multiple terminals running parallelly as shown in the screenshot below:</p>

  <p>I want to load a Git Bash shell in terminal # 1, Windows PowerShell in terminal # 2, and so on. What is the relevant configuration to achieve it?</p>
