Running REPL in VSCode in Git Bash, rather than (default) Powershell?

When I run the REPL outside of VSCode (on Windows 10), I run it in Git Bash, for a generally much better experience than is the case when using PowerShell. Both run inside Windows Terminal. In VSCode however, while Git Bash is set as the default terminal, the REPL seems to open in PowerShell (or at least it shows the Powershell icon). I was wondering whether it is possible to specify to VSCode (or the Julia add-in) to open the REPL inside Git Bash instead (so shelling out works). This is more of an idle curiosity than a feature request. I’ll use it if it is available, but I wouldn’t ask anyone to spent time adding it.

I couldn’t see any obvious settings in VSCode or the add-in, so I suspect the answer is that this is not possible, but I figured there is no harm in asking.

The REPL inside VS Code is not launched inside any shell, we just launch the the Julia process directly.
