Setting terminal to bash in Windows WebStorm 10
I have the following:
Windows 10 x64
Git for Windows x64 2.5.3
Webstorm 10.0.4
I would like to use bash as my local terminal in Webstorm but I cannot get it to do it.
In File>Settings>Tools>Terminal>Shell path, if have tried the following:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\cmd.exe /c ""C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
""C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i"
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" --login -i
C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe --login -i
I have restarted between each attempt with no change to behaviour. All I get in the terminal window is a blank screen with a blinking cursor with no input.
Any ideas?

C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe --login -i works fine for me on Windows 7. Most probably your issue is caused by https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/IDEA-143300; it's fixed in WebStorm 11
Sorry about a long time to contribute to this question.
The problem is because you input two -- before "login". The correct path is...
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i
Pay attention at this declaration, have only one "-" on "login".
If you put that way gone work.
more details about that you find on ...
