Changing the default path of Visual Studio Code's integrated terminal

Question

I\'m trying to change the default path of the integrated terminal in Visual Studio Code, but I\'m not sure how to. I do know how to change it in the windows command prompt,

Answer 1

As others have already explained, you can add a setting to change the default folder for your integrated terminal to start in. This setting also accepts Visual Studio Code variables, so to make a relative path from the root folder of your workspace you can use ${workspaceFolder}.

For example, for your terminal to always start in the subfolder mystart, your setting would be:

"terminal.integrated.cwd": "${workspaceFolder}/mystart"
