vscode multiple terminals configuration issue

I was reading with new features of vscode 1.9, adding/working with multiple terminals, however I ended up with adding multiple terminals of same type. e.g. cmd.
Is there way I can option to choose what type of terminal I can use, either bash(git), cmd (windows) OR bash(Ubuntu)? So following dropdown of vscode terminal should change as:

enter image description here

  1. cmd.exe
  2. bash.exe (Git)
  3. bash.exe (Ubuntu)

I tried to change setting.json file for "terminal.integrated.shell.windows", however it considers only last value.

In 2017 when the question was posted it was really not possible. Now this has been addressed already by using terminal profiles - https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/terminal/profiles.

Example configuration:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
  "Cmd": {
    "path": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\cmd.exe",
    "icon": "terminal-cmd"
  },
  "GitBash": {
    "path": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe", "icon": "terminal-bash",
    "icon": "terminal-bash"
  },
  "PowerShell": {
    "path": "C:\\Windows\\System32\\WindowsPowerShell\\v1.0\\powershell.exe"
    "icon": "terminal-powershell"
  },
},

You can use the extension Start any shell.

Other option would be to open the desired shell from inside the default shell. Easier if you have all the desired ones in your path.

It seems this is currently not possible. There is an open feature request about it in the backlog however: #10893
