How to open a terminal on WebStorm?

Go to File -> Settings -> Tools -> Terminal and change Shell path based on the the installed git version.

for 64bit:
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

for 32bit:
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

Don't forget the quotes around the command.


After the latest update the path needs to be in enclosed in quotes:

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i

If you have the 64bit version of Git use

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i 

If you have the 32bit version use

"C:\Program Files (x86)\Git\bin\sh.exe" -login -i
