I have been using Visual Studio Code for PowerShell development, but got a bit behind on reading release notes. Today I just realised I can make my Integrated Terminal a Code a PowerShell instance.

In File > Preferences > user Settings (settings.json) enter the following

1// Place your settings in this file to overwrite the default settings  
2{  
3     // The path of the shell that the terminal uses on Windows.  
4    "terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\\windows\\system32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"  
5}

Now my terminal is a PowerShell instance, and you can see it has loaded by profile so POSH Git is work as well

So I think we have reached the goodbye PowerShell ISE point
