Why so many duplicate shell tab

[i-curve]

Description

like this:

And I can't delete the superfluous.

When I try to delete it in "setting.json", The corresponding information will be added automatically

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

Because it looks so ugly, I'd like to delete the superfluous

[DHowett]

Hm. Can you share your settings.json file? Thanks.

setting.json file:

You have "name: powershell" in your defaults section. You have set the default name for every profile to be "PowerShell"... This means that every profile will be named "PowerShell".

[jdebp]

That does not explain why there are 4 profiles in the settings and 6 entries in the menu, though.

[DHowett]

Kind-of. There’s another settings file that produces profiles that are getting their names overridden. It’s not a model that has worked well for us (for discoverability reasons,) but it does ensure that users always have at least Command Prompt and Windows PowerShell.

ideally, we would replace those with dynamic profile generators and allow folks to delete them.

right now, the best solution (and the one most liable to work) is to hide them with hidden: true
