Integrating CygWin Terminal with Visual Studio Code

CygWin can be seamlessly integrated with Visual Studio Code using Terminal Profiles. Follow the steps below to set up a new profile for CygWin.

1. Create a New Terminal Profile: Add the following configuration to your existing Visual Studio Code settings to create a CygWin profile:

  "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
        "Cygwin": {
            "path": "C:\\cygwin64\\bin\\bash.exe",
            "args": [
                "--login"
            ],
            "env": {
                "CHERE_INVOKING": "1"
            }
        }
 }

2. Note:

   • This configuration example uses the 64-bit version of CygWin.
   • Ensure that the path to bash.exe matches your CygWin installation directory.
