I have the Linux sybsystem installed on my Windows machine, but in the Cascadia window there's no option to create a new bash tab.
I didn't see any documentation on how to edit the configuration to enable this

I think as we stabilize the settings format, documentation on how to do this is definitely something we should add.

Even a quick docs/howto/AddACustomProfile.md file would probably be very helpful.

This is how I enable bash in Windows Terminal:

  • Use the uuidgen tool in Visual Studio Command Prompt to generate a guid
  • Copy a profile in Windows Terminal's setting profile, replace:
    • guid with the one you generated
    • name : wsl
    • commandline: ubuntu.exe
    • icon: you can find it in C:\Program Files\WindowsApps\ where ubuntu is located
