Git bash slow since last update

[xGeekoo]

Type: Performance Issue

Since the last update, the integrated git bash terminal inside vscode have a high latency (around 5 seconds) after initialize it or running a command

Disabling all extension, removing settings and reinstalling git bash didn't fix the issue

It's so true that Git Bash is slow. I tried the external terminal, which is as expected but the integrated terminal is slow.

[xGeekoo]

I just saw that settings "terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled" to false fix the issue.
This settings seem to impact other issue related to other terminal too

#214386

[shivapoudel]

@xGeekoo For the current situation the setting as mentioned above works well. Thanks!

[hitrust]

Also, there is another issue, some characters have being attached to python venv's name, just like below.

x1b[36m\x1b[0m\x0d\x0a$ \x1b]633\x3bB\x07(prostarlette)

[hitrust]

It added some unnecessary features, it's just fine using version 1.88.1, and turn off the update.

[rud-holmgren]

I have the same issue - and "terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled" seems to fix it.

Just wondering what other implications disabling that feature may have?

[JVJimenezC]

It added some unnecessary features, it's just fine using version 1.88.1, and turn off the update.

This fixed it for me.

My git bash was also displaying strange text and a line break before my "username@computer ~/folders/..." prompt

/duplicate #212090

[Lord-Fec]

Thanks to @nbrinks, disable "shell integration" make git-bash faster!

[kira0x1]

god.. thank you this saved me.

Unfortunately didn't work for me.
upd: everything worked, I just had to restart the terminal

make sure you click the delete / trash icon on the terminal and create a new one, hopefully that helps.

[James-Wilkinson-git]

Setting wouldnt save the first time had to do it a few times before it saved using the GUI, then restarted and it's back to normal.

wow

[DanielTheEntomologist]

It seems that whatever VCS is doing when wrapping Bash terminal is detected as suspicious activity by my antivirus.
Haven't tried disabling the antivirus to test if it would work as fix too.

[JP-Zeta]

Thanks to @nbrinks, disable "shell integration" make git-bash faster!

Thank you very much for the contribution, it worked for me, it was already giving me a headache because it took a long time to execute the code and print the message "b[0m\x0d\x0a$" at the end of it.

[ArkangelGab]

"terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled"
The mentioned configuration does solve the problem. You must delete the terminal and reopen it for the changes to take effect.

[fpavlik]

Oh lord, terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled = false helped me too! Thank you!

[dhachcar]

terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled = false fixed for me as well!

[jessicacastro]

@xGeekoo Thanks! The terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled as false worked for mee. It was driving me crazy.

[LitoHDD]

Thanks to @nbrinks for the fix. Now Git Bash works as it should in your Windows version

@hitrust I was having the same issue, in node.js repository.

It seems to be kind of a "leak" of characters related to the coloration of the current branch name.

That was fixed just disabling the terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled option as suggested above.

[djkepa]

well for me still the same 😢

[ivu-mawi]

I noticed that during these 5 second waits for the prompt, the Windows Defender CPU usage spikes. So, I wonder if Windows Defender exacerbates or causes the issue. I can't test that as I can't turn Defender off on my company laptop.

[abdul-florez]

Oh lord, terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled =

Thank you!! it works for me!

[adan-garley]

thanks, it worked for me too.

[aidev13]

terminal.integrated.shellIntegration.enabled helped me as well! Gosh, that was annoying...

[hitrust]

@hugotannus
Thanks.
Currently, I think it's enough using version 1.88.1, then no more uncertain annoying during working.

[bztoy]

Thanks everyone here, this issue was annoying me for 2 weeks time, the suggestion by @xGeekoo and everyone helped me as well.

[nyxisnyx]

Yep, i have the issue as well. The proposed fix solved some of it, but it's still about 50% as fast as it was before
