CygWin can be seamlessly integrated with Visual Studio Code using Terminal Profiles. Follow the steps below to set up a new profile for CygWin.
- 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"
}
}
}
-
Note:
- This configuration example uses the 64-bit version of CygWin.
- Ensure that the path to
bash.exe
matches your CygWin installation directory.
