AugmentCode + VS Code runs PowerShell instead of Git Bash for automation tasks despite configuration

Question

I've configured VS Code to use Git Bash as my default terminal, but when AugmentCode runs commands (like Flutter commands or tasks), it still uses PowerShell.

What I've already done:

Set Git Bash as my default terminal profile:

"terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "Git Bash"

Configured terminal profiles:

   "terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
     "Git Bash": {
       "path": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",
       "args": []
     }
   }

Set automation profile to use Git Bash:

   "terminal.integrated.automationProfile.windows": {
     "path": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe",
     "args": []
   }

Current behavior:

When I open a terminal manually (Ctrl+`), Git Bash opens correctly
When AugmentCode runs a command, VS Code still uses PowerShell

Environment:

Windows 11
VS Code version: 1.101.0
Git Bash is installed and working correctly
Flutter/Dart extensions are installed

I've restarted VS Code multiple times, but the issue persists. What am I missing? Is there another setting that's overriding my configuration?

That sounds more like a question for SuperUser .... superuser.com — Olaf

This worked for me:

Configure Terminal Settings

Click the gear icon in the top-right of the Augment chat window
Navigate to Terminal settings
Select your preferred shell from the dropdown menu
