## Add a third party profile

If a 3rd party command line tool does not have a profile auto-generated into your settings.json file, you can add it manually. Below are profiles for a few common 3rd party tools for your reference.

### Anaconda

Assuming that you've installed Anaconda into `%USERPROFILE%\Anaconda3`:

```json
{
"commandline": "cmd.exe /k \"%USERPROFILE%\\Anaconda3\\Scripts\\activate.bat %USERPROFILE%\\Anaconda3\"",
"icon": "%USERPROFILE%\\Anaconda3\\Menu\\anaconda-navigator.ico",
"name": "Anaconda3",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%"
}
```

### cmder

Assuming that you've installed cmder into `%CMDER_ROOT%`:

```json
{
"commandline": "cmd.exe /k \"%CMDER_ROOT%\\vendor\\init.bat\"",
"name": "cmder",
"icon": "%CMDER_ROOT%\\icons\\cmder.ico",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%"
}
```

### Cygwin

Assuming that you've installed Cygwin into `C:\Cygwin`:

```json
{
"name": "Cygwin",
"commandline": "C:\\Cygwin\\bin\\bash --login -i",
"icon": "C:\\Cygwin\\Cygwin.ico",
"startingDirectory": "C:\\Cygwin\\bin"
}
```

> ![NOTE]
> The starting directory of Cygwin is set in order for the path
to work. The default directory opened when starting Cygwin will be `$HOME` because
of the `--login` flag.

### Far Manager

Assuming that you've installed Far into `c:\Program Files\Far Manager`:

```json
{
"name": "Far",
"commandline": "\"c:\\program files\\far manager\\far.exe\"",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%",
"useAcrylic": false
},
```

### Git Bash

Assuming that you've installed Git Bash into `C:\\Program Files\\Git`:

```json
{
"name": "Git Bash",
"commandline": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe -li",
"icon": "C:\\Program Files\\Git\\mingw64\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%"
}
````

### Git Bash (WOW64)

Assuming that you've installed Git Bash into `C:\\Program Files (x86)\\Git`:

```json
{
"name": "Git Bash",
"commandline": "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe -li",
"icon": "%ProgramFiles(x86)%\\Git\\mingw32\\share\\git\\git-for-windows.ico",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%"
}
```

### MSYS2

Assuming that you've installed MSYS2 into `C:\\msys64`:

```json
{
"name": "MSYS2",
"commandline": "C:\\msys64\\msys2_shell.cmd -defterm -no-start -mingw64",
"icon": "C:\\msys64\\msys2.ico",
"startingDirectory": "C:\\msys64\\home\\user"
}
```

```json
{
"name": "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019",
"commandline": "cmd.exe /k \"C:/Program Files (x86)/Microsoft Visual Studio/2019/Professional/Common7/Tools/VsDevCmd.bat\"",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%"
