  1. Install Git for Windows
  2. Launch Windows Terminal, open Settings

    1. Add a new profile (in “Profiles” section of sidebar) → + New empty profile. Settings:

      • Name = Git Bash
      • Command line = full path to bash.exe (found in the bin folder of your Git for Windows install – don't use git-bash.exe because it will start in a standlone window outside Windows Terminal)
      • Starting directory = your local repositories root (often %USERPROFILE%\source\repos)
      • Icon = your choice. Git & Git for Windows icons are in the usr\share\git folder of your Git for Windows install

      Save! (Even better, as you go along)

    2. Startup (at top of settings sidebar). Settings:

      • Default profile = Git Bash
      • New instance behavior = Attach to the most recently used window

      Save
