"I'm new to coding however; I fixed this on my end by following this tutorial https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M2_v8eTQul4

Also I had to create a project save in the designated folder in order for the video to work for me.

Not sure if you still need this or not.

1. In VS code go to File>Preferences>Settings

2. Type in cwd or Terminal Integrated

3. Set your desired start path in the integrated terminal section

4. Click on Terminal and create new terminal

Hope this helps!

With the added note that the value should be ${workspaceFolder}

• Open Settings: Click on the gear icon in the lower-left corner and select "Settings" or press Ctrl + ,.

• Open Settings (JSON): Click on the icon in the top-right corner of the settings pane to open the settings in JSON format.

• Configure Terminal CWD: Add the following setting to ensure the terminal opens in the directory of the currently active file:jsonCopy code{ "terminal.integrated.cwd": "${fileDirname}" }

Its works for me !

You can set up profiles and alias' in bash shells. A quick search turned up this stackoverflow post. Bear in mind when I did cs50 they had a custom cs50 online IDE not vscode. Is the current IDE browser based or desktop based?

Edit: honestly I'm not sure if I'm even answering the right question your post is hard to read.

Sorry for typo's, I'll try to explain it again: So if in local desktop version of vscode when i open any project folder, than terminal in vscode (powershell) show directory path info like from D:/work/project (I'm using "D" drive here).

So, how to change vscode terminal settings so it uses "project" workspace folder as a start of directory path of terminal

I agree with u/MarlDaeSu, your post is not the easiest to read :)

If you ask how to navigate in the terminal, there is a shorts or section video in one of the first weeks that explains some of the basic commands to use in the terminal.

cd              // change directory, back to your home
cd ..           // change directory, one level up
cd my_folder    // change directory, move down to "my_folder"

Sorry for confusion, I tried again buy updating the post..

So my question is not about navigating through the directory..

In vs code suppose we choose "project_1" as folder

Than inside which I create "hello" folder than "hello.py"

So in terminal directory path should look like this

"PS D:\work\project_1\hello> python hello.py"

since I'm working in "Project_1" folder, instead of starting from root (D:\work\...........so on..)

how to make it start from "project_1\hello>"

thank u for this i was trying to change to a diff directory from an existing one so i tried cd my_folder but it wasnt working so i had to mention the absolute path and for some reason still didnt work and then i used this to go back home and then to the directory.
