Maybe it would be helpful to have a comprehensive guide on adding some common third-party tools as profiles.

Other ideas:

  • VS2019 dev prompts?
  • mingw bash?
  • ssh?

I figured this would be something the community would mostly maintain.

Suggestion: Add snippets for Git for Windows and Cygwin as well

{
    "name" : "Git Bash",
    "commandline" : "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe",
    "icon" : "C:/Program Files/Git/mingw64/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",
    "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%"
},
{
    "name" : "Cygwin",
    "commandline" : "C:/Cygwin/bin/bash --login -i",
    "icon" : "C:/Cygwin/Cygwin.ico",
    "startingDirectory" : "C:/Cygwin/bin"
},

Note that the starting directory of Cygwin is set as it is to make the path work. The default directory opened when starting Cygwin will be $HOME because of the --login flag.

And the mentioned VS dev prompts (both PS and CMD), MinGW and SSH would be useful snippets as well.

Is this an env var that it sets on installation or something?
