What I've found, laid out in this video by Code Astra here, is that Windows 11 offers a drop down to select the terminal profile of your choice, once you have selected Right Click --> Open in Terminal.

Once you have the Terminal open, select the drop down to the right of the Terminal tab. Here you can select your desired Terminal Profile. If your Git Bash Profile is not found here, select Settings.

Git Bash Terminal Settings

In the settings menu, you can choose your default Terminal profile, application, and decide on other various options.

Git Bash Terminal Settings 2

Navigate on the left pane to "Add a new profile," and then under Add a new profile, select "+ New empty profile"

Fill the form. Name it Git Bash, then naviagte tot he "Program Files" directory where the git-bash.exe is found, most likely "C:\Program Files\Git\git-bash.exe" and choose the starting directory.

Now when you right click, Windows will open Git Bash.

I hope this was helpful!
