https://code.visualstudio.com/docs/editor/integrated-terminal

Can I use Cygwin's shell with the terminal on Windows?
Yes, to use the Cygwin shell, you will first need to install the chere package and then add the following settings to your settings.json file:

"terminal.integrated.shell.windows": "C:\Windows\System32\cmd.exe",

"terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows": ["/k", "C:\cygwin64\Cygwin.bat"]

 

note: /K shouldn't be ignored , this arg will tell cmd to stay in Cygwin after Cygwin executed instead of quit imidiatly

in short

Setp 1: well install and config your cygwin application

Step 2: open settings,json from VSCode by accessing file > preferences > setting   or open setting by type  Ctl +`
