About Start git-bash
README
This small Visual Studio Code extension adds two "bash" commands to VSCode that allow you to start git-bash, either in the folder of the current file or in the workspace's root folder.
Plugin provides two commands:
• bash will open bash in your current file's directory. • bash in workspace will 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!
