So I am fairly new to pretty much everything.
I follow Brad from YT channel Traversy Media and am adapting his stack - slowly but surely.
I use VS Code as my editor and Git Bash as my terminal.
When he or anyone else I find on Google use bash in VS Code it always opens internally.
VS Code offers a shortcut Ctrl+Shift+C to open it externally and a shortcut Ctrl+` (or in my case Ctrl+F1) to open it internally.
In my case it opens it externally with both shortcuts as well as with menu View->Terminal.
In VS Code it still takes up space at bottom meant for the terminal, except I can't type anything in it. It looks like this: Two internally opened "terminals" with split view in VS Code (and this only happens when I open them internally. If I open them externally, they just open as you'd expect, without opening these useless panel at the bottom of VS Code.
It instead opens them like this: Both opened externally
My JSON Settings are these:

Can't find the solution to this anywhere on Google..
Can anyone provide some insight?
bash
and press Enter, it changes colorization and adds $ before input. If that doesn't answer your question, then I need to go through installation process again, since I don't remember MingW option.
