FYI, I got the same problem, and I can reproduce the issue on a hello
world program, so "externalConsole": true, is broken at least for me
regardless of the Git codebase.
I couldn't understand what exactly the option was supposed to do. If I
understand correctly, it should launch another window to show the git
program output, but I don't know which window actually (xterm?
x-terminal-emulator? a terminal program that isn't installed on my system?).
contrib/vscode/init.sh | 2 +-
t/test-lib-functions.sh | 34 ----------------------------------
I guess the test-lib-functions.sh part is a leftover from another work?
- "externalConsole": true,
+ "externalConsole": false,
I'd actually remove the line completely, to mean "let VSCode decide what
to do", i.e. either VSCode's default, or the user's configuration
("launch" section in settings.json, see e.g.
https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/getstarted/settings ). If some user
has a non-broken externalConsole: true VSCode and likes this behavior,
then the best place to configure it is in a user-wide config file IHMO.
