Git Bash as Terminal

Hello @...

Could you please check what do you have setup under Preferences | Tools | Terminal under "Shell path"? Is there a path to git bash?

Yes, my path points to bash. I've noticed that this isn't specific to Rider. PHPStorm has the same.

What is your OS? And how did you configure the OS shell to take colors from the git-prompt.sh script? Do you see the colors in the OS terminal if you use this bash terminal? What are your IDE terminal settings?

As I understand for this to work you first need to configure the git bash shell prompt to honor this file. See here how to configure the bash profile to source the git-prompt.sh script https://gist.github.com/eliotsykes/47516b877f5a4f7cd52f

I'm on Windows 10. To change the colors, I modified my git-prompt.sh file in C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d location. 

My IDE settings are pretty simple:

I'll give your link a try and see what I can find.

This is still not working for me. Here's what my terminal looks like inside Rider:

Here's how it should look:

Notice the Italics on the second one, but not the first.

See if using the following string for the shell path makes any difference:

"C:\Program Files\git\usr\bin\bash.exe" --login -i

That sadly didn't do anything for me, sadly.
