Prevent Windows Terminal Title from changing - windows

Question

I am trying out Windows Terminal. I use bash and want the Windows Terminal Tab title to remain as cwd (which is initially set by bash) instead of changing since while using multiple tabs they become indistinguishable. If I run say npm run start in bash directly, the title (in title bar) remains as cwd but if I try to use it via Windows Terminal the tab title changes to npm which I don't want.
My .bashrc
if test -f /etc/profile.d/git-sdk.sh
then
TITLEPREFIX=SDK-${MSYSTEM#MINGW}
else
TITLEPREFIX=$MSYSTEM
fi
if test -f ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
then
. ~/.config/git/git-prompt.sh
else
# PS1='\[\033]0;$TITLEPREFIX:$PWD\007\]' # set window title
# PS1='\[\e]0;\W\a\]\[\033]0;$PWD\007\]' # set window title (full path)
PS1='\[\e]0;\W\a\]' # set window title (only directory name)
PS1="$PS1"'\n' # new line
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[32m\]' # change to green
PS1="$PS1"'\u ' # user#host<space>
# PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[35m\]' # change to purple
# PS1="$PS1"'$MSYSTEM ' # show MSYSTEM
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[33m\]' # change to brownish yellow
PS1="$PS1"'\w' # current working directory
if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
then
GIT_EXEC_PATH="$(git --exec-path 2>/dev/null)"
COMPLETION_PATH="${GIT_EXEC_PATH%/libexec/git-core}"
COMPLETION_PATH="${COMPLETION_PATH%/lib/git-core}"
COMPLETION_PATH="$COMPLETION_PATH/share/git/completion"
if test -f "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
then
. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-completion.bash"
. "$COMPLETION_PATH/git-prompt.sh"
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[36m\]' # change color to cyan
PS1="$PS1"'`__git_ps1`' # bash function
fi
fi
PS1="$PS1"'\[\033[0m\]' # change color
PS1="$PS1"'\n' # new line

fi
MSYS2_PS1="$PS1" # for detection by MSYS2 SDK's bash.basrc
# Evaluate all user-specific Bash completion scripts (if any)
if test -z "$WINELOADERNOEXEC"
then
for c in "$HOME"/bash_completion.d/*.bash
do
# Handle absence of any scripts (or the folder) gracefully
test ! -f "$c" ||
. "$c"
done

export PS1='${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\[\e]0;\W\a\]\[\033[01;32m\]\u \[\033[00m\]\[\033[01;00m\]\w\n$ '

How do I achieve this?

Answer 1

windows terminal has two tag to change this
"tabTitle": "yourtitle",
"suppressApplicationTitle": true
so in your case, maybe you can write like this
{
"guid": "{00000000-0000-0000-ba54-000000000002}",
"commandline": "%PROGRAMFILES%/git/usr/bin/bash.exe -i -l",
"icon": "%PROGRAMFILES%/Git/mingw64/share/git/git-for-windows.ico",
"name": "Bash",
"startingDirectory": "%USERPROFILE%",
"tabTitle": "cwd",
"suppressApplicationTitle": true
}
