Cmder inside Webstorm terminal
  1. Set an environment variable called CMDER_ROOT to your root Cmder folder (in my case C:\Program Files (x86)\Cmder). It seems to be important that this does not have quotes around it because they mess with concatenation in the init script.
  2. In your IntelliJ terminal settings, use "cmd" /k ""%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\init.bat"" as the Shell path. The double-double-quotes are intentional, as they counteract the missing double quotes in the environment variable.

Awesome and thank you for this. This solves the "java.io.IOEXception:couldn't create PTY" error

Worked for me in Webstorm, just had to restart the application after setting the environment variable. This worked for me, thanks.

If you want to use {bash::bash} in your IntelliJ terminal, use "cmd.exe" /c ""%CMDER_ROOT%\vendor\git-for-windows\bin\bash.exe"" as the Shell path.

Thanks! It works fine.

I did not use the environment variable.
Instead provided
"cmd" /k ""full\path\to\vendor\init.bat""
