Integrating MINGW64 into Visual Studio Code-CodePudding

From https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal, I have been able to put the shell inside the shell choices but when I select it, it pops up a new window separate from the VSCode's terminal. How do I solve this problem?

This is what I have done in settings.json:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
...
"MINGW64": {
            "path": "C:\\msys64\\mingw64.exe"
        }
}

I also have a problem git. I installed git as a package from msys2. I have set up all the basic git config parameters.

But when I try git config --global -e, it give an error:

hint: Waiting for your editor to close the file... code --wait: line 1: code: command not found error: There was a problem with the editor 'code --wait'.

So I tried in cmd, and it worked. where code also only worked in cmd.

So I was wondering what would be the problem. Could it be something to do with PATH? Or something to do with the above question?

Except it is the code.cmd which is actually executed.
In a bash session, check if the $PATH references the same folder as in CMD.

Consider also using Git For Windows directly: you can add its git bash to VSCode

In the .bashrc:

export PATH=$PATH:"/C/Users/User1/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code/bin"
