Note that, from microsoft/vscode issue 67670, the current branch name is already visible in the status bar of VSCode.

Or, with Git 2.22+ (Q2 2019)

git branch --show-current

It is true the prompt in a git bash in VSCode does not display the Git branch.

You need to configure the $SHELL

For example, to enable running bash as a login shell (which runs .bash_profile), pass in the -l argument (with double quotes):

// Linux
"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.linux": ["-l"]

Then in your ~/.bashrc can include a special prompt.
