Answer a question

I'm on a windows 10 machine and I recently installed VS Code to use instead of Sublime Text 3. I changed the integrated terminal in VS Code to default to git Bash. That is working just fine now but I seemed to have lost my color coding for files and directories. I tried adding eval "$(dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS)" to my .bash_profile but it still doesn't work in the integrated terminal, however if I open Bash externally all of my colors are still there.

I was able to get colors to work in my Bash integrated terminal in VSCode by configuring my C:\Program Files\Git\etc\bash.bashrc file. I found that simply using eval "$(dircolors -b /etc/DIR_COLORS)" alone was not sufficient. At the top of my C:\Program Files\Git\etc\DIR_COLORS file I saw this:

# Configuration file for dircolors, a utility to help you set the
# LS_COLORS environment variable used by GNU ls with the --color option.

So I tested using ls --color and it worked! I then created the following aliases in bash.bashrc:

alias ls='ls --color' # list with color
alias la='ls -alF'    # list all

I also found that you can customize the colors (and composition) of the Bash prompt by editing the C:\Program Files\Git\etc\profile.d\git-prompt.sh file and including shopt -q login_shell || . /etc/profile.d/git-prompt.sh in bash.bashrc.

I can't explain why the ls alias is needed for the integrated terminal but now I'm happy since my colors now match the external terminal.
