Replace VSCode by VSCodium

VSCode is installed by default. If you prefer to use VSCodium instead then setvscodiumtoTrueinside thevscode_coresection in the vscode-anywhere.sls file:

vscode-anywhere:
  vscode_core:
    vscodium: True

After that, you have just to run the installation script again.

Set bash or PowerShell as default shell in Windows

The git installer provides the bash binary and it can be used as the default shell. To use bash as the default shell, set the following settings in thecustomsection in the vscode-anywhere.sls file:

vscode-anywhere:
  custom:
    settings:
      terminal.integrated.shell.windows: {{ salt['grains.get']('vscode-anywhere:apps:path') | path_join('scoop', 'apps', 'git', 'current', 'bin', 'bash.exe') }}

Or you can use the default Windows PowerShell:

vscode-anywhere:
  custom:
    settings:
      terminal.integrated.shell.windows: {{ salt['environ.get']('SystemRoot') | path_join('system32', 'WindowsPowerShell', 'v1.0', 'powershell.exe')' }}

Or if powershell module is set to enabled, you can use pwsh (PowerShell core) instead:

vscode-anywhere:
  custom:
    settings:
      terminal.integrated.shell.windows: {{ salt['grains.get']('vscode-anywhere:apps:path') | path_join('scoop', 'apps', 'pwsh', 'current', 'pwsh.exe') }}

After that, you have just to run the installation script again.
