This combo brings Unix/Linux commands into Windows with terminal tabs and splitting! This combination offers a comprehensive solution, making it unlikely you’ll need another shell in Windows. (Unless you need to run certain commands in PowerShell/Command Prompt, but that’s another discussion entirely.)

First, ensure you have Git for Windows and Windows Terminal installed.

Next, open Windows Terminal and go to the settings.

Windows Terminal Settings

Add a profile for Git Bash.

Git Bash Profile

Save it. Then, make it your default profile.

Windows Terminal Default Profile

Save your changes. Now, you are all set! Use Windows Terminal + Git Bash for all of your normal terminal work. Remember you can use the Windows Terminal shortcuts Ctrl + Shift + T to open a new tab and Shift + Alt + - (minus key) or Shift + Alt + + (plus key) to split a terminal vertically or horizontally respectively.
