How to default VS Code terminal to fish?

[nvlgzr]

First of all, thanks for this! I found your post(s) on Discord, and it seemed like exactly what I was looking for (after spending several hours pounding my head against GitPod's docs).

🙇🏽

By any chance do you know how to make VS Code default consistently to fish without manual effort?

I found advice to put this in settings.json…

"terminal.integrated.shell.linux": "/usr/bin/fish" 

…but of course, when I make that change in one GitPod workspace, that doesn't propagate to new workspaces. Do I have to add my own settings.json hack, or is this something your dotfiles can already be configured to handle?

Oops. Wait. I think I was "doing it wrong".

After further inspection, it seems like I had a workspace that was opening a blank bash terminal at first, but all future terminals after that started with fish. So i guess…ignore everything above except the thanks! 😁

What you're experiencing is valid, see gitpod-io/gitpod#9531

And BTW, this dotfiles repo applies a workaround to enforce the use of fish on .gitpod.yml:tasks terminals after the commands from a task are done executing in bash. We will have a better officially implemented fix for this in the future.
