This has now largely been superceeded by built-in VSCode functionality in release 1.1.0 (April 2016)
This small Visual Studio Code extension adds a "bash" commands to VSCode that allows you to start git-bash with the current working folder as the VSCode workspace's root folder.
Plugin provides two commands:
bashwill open bash in your current file's directory.bash in workspacewill open bash always in the root workspace directory, despite what file is opened.
Just press F1 and then type any of above commands to start git-bash.exe.
Note that you will need to have git-bash.exe on the environment path.
Enjoy!
- Updated so that if you have a file open it will open git-bash in the folder of the file, but if there's no folder it will still default to the workspace root folder. Thanks to Leo for the idea and pull request! :-)
- Improved error checking when git-bash isn't on the path
- No longer opens an informational message when it opens git-bash (that you then have to close each time, which is annoying).
