How do I add application on Windows Terminal?

Question

I have installed Windows Terminal and Ubuntu App from Microsoft Store. According to the description of the app,

The Windows Terminal is a new, modern, fast, efficient, powerful, and productive terminal application for users of command-line tools and shells like Command Prompt, PowerShell, and WSL.

To use WSL, I need to launch Ubuntu in Windows Terminal, but I can't find the option for that.

How do I add Ubuntu in the menu?

Answer 1

• Click on Settings.

  

• Choose a text editor to edit that .json file.

• Find profiles entry and add this after the CMD entry putting a comma (,) after } to separate the entries.

  {
      "acrylicOpacity" : 0.75,
      "closeOnExit" : true,
      "colorScheme" : "Campbell",
      "commandline" : "ubuntu",
      "cursorColor" : "#FFFFFF",
      "cursorShape" : "bar",
      "fontFace" : "Consolas",
      "fontSize" : 10,
      "guid" : "{GUID of the app in double quotes}",
      "historySize" : 9001,
      "icon" : "Absolute path of icon (with double quotes)",
      "name" : "Ubuntu",
      "padding" : "0, 0, 0, 0",
      "snapOnInput" : true,
      "startingDirectory" : "%USERPROFILE%",
      "useAcrylic" : true
  }
  

• Note that the GUID must be inside { }.

• Save the file. Click on drop-down menu again to check if it has been added.

  

Notes:

1. To get the GUID of an app, see this question: How do I get GUID of apps installed from Microsoft Store?
2. You can download the logo in png format from anywhere of x48. I've used this icon and 48x48 size.
