Originally created by @DevShashi1993 on GitHub (May 27, 2021).

Windows Terminal version (or Windows build number)

1.7.1033.0

Other Software

Git-2.23.0.windows.1 (64-bit)

Steps to reproduce

Below is the windows terminal config snippet, that I configured for one of my git repo in the settings.json file. I mostly use git bash terminal so, in order to use that here as well, I tried to integrate git bash in the windows terminal using the below config.

{ "guid": "{0cac0dad-34be-5f56-a8ff-afc333ab6101}", "name": "myApp", "commandline" : "C:/Program Files/Git/bin/bash.exe", "startingDirectory" : "C:/Users/ssharma/myApp", "tabTitle": "myApp", "hidden": false, "colorScheme": "Dracula", "fontSize": 9, }

Expected Behavior

The windows terminal tab title bar should display the tab title as configured inside the settings.json file

Actual Behavior

The windows terminal tab title bar displays a very strange text "MINGW64:/c/Users/ssharma/SafetyBot" instead of displaying "myApp" for the respective repo.

@KalleOlaviNiemitalo commented on GitHub (May 27, 2021):

That would be the shell changing the tab title as configured in https://github.com/git-for-windows/build-extra/blob/0ade901974c897f7f1b045e36cccc6018e91b296/git-extra/git-prompt.sh#L12.

You can disable that in Windows Terminal. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/terminal/tutorials/tab-title

Or you can edit the shell startup scripts to format the title differently.
