help pls
Hi guys. here's the problem. Python courses ask to use the GitBash console, but I simply don't have it in my selection, even though it's installed (locally for my user). I spent three hours fiddling with the configuration settings, and in the end, JSON understood it faster than Python, but the console still didn't work. Can you please help

Post the course if possible? I would bet you could use any console. Just know if it’s Windows and/or Unix based commands/scripts.

it says there that it should be used Git Bash. But damn, it doesn't work for me at all. I spent three hours with the AI trying to figure out how to make the console work, but in all modes, I got PowerShell instead of Git Bash

If you want more answers you gotta give a bit more info I’d say. Offer up the info so we can help. What’s your OS? Is there a link to a web page for this python course? Can I access it or is it behind a wall?
Otherwise you can download git bash.
And if you really want help install an Agent in the CLI (codex/claude) and it can install and co figure your own environment for you.

Go find the official "git for windows" installer and install it. That will install git and git bash.
Git bash is a separate program that should appear in your start menu.
Git itself is a program you run from within poweshell, cmd, or git bash, by typing "git".
Edit: you don't have to run the git commands from inside VSCode, even if thats what the tutorial is saying.
Tip: if you are an absolute beginner, don't pay for a course. Find free tutorials on YouTube and do many of them as they will all teach you differently.
