vcterminal

This is a Visual Studio Code extension, which enables Windows users to open Integrated Terminal with Visual Studio Tools. It is enabled by utilizing vcvarsall.bat on Visual C++ installation.

It also supports Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (WSL) invocation without modifying the existing integrated terminal configuration.

Visual Studio Command Prompt

You can select a Visual Studio version upon opening Visual Studio Command Prompt.

Currently, it supports VS2008, VS2010, VS2012, VS2013, VS2015, VS2017, and VS15 Preview.

Bash on Ubuntu on Windows (WSL)

This will open Bash on Ubuntu on Windows on a new integrated terminal.

NOTE: This feature was once removed from the extension and now back again! I'm now developing a new extension that launches shells of WSL Linux distributions and it will replace the feature in near future.

Known Issues

It cannot run on Mac

Of course, the extension runs only on Windows! :(
