How to change Jupyter notebook (windows) shell to bash in Visual Studio code

Question

Related question: How to change Jupyter Notebook (Windows) shell to bash

On windows 10, I created the jupyter configuration file by doing:

jupyter notebook --generate-config

then edited this file to include the path to my git bash executable:

c.NotebookApp.terminado_settings = {
   'shell_command': ['C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe']
}

as referenced in the relevant question above.

On git bash, I then tried to start a jupyter notebook session and I verified that git bash commands worked, e.g. doing:

!ls

worked on the notebook client in my browser.

However, if I open an interactive window or a Jupyter notebook within Visual studio code, I do not get the expected behavior, I instead get the error

'ls' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

My question then is:

How do you get jupyter on Visual studio code to use git bash instead of Command prompt on Windows 10?

Answer 1

This worked for me: go to settings->search for cmd->change it to location of bash-> probably you need to restart VS code

tested with !ls

setting_location
