   This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

   • OpenCode uses Windows PowerShell 5.1 instead of the PowerShell 7 it was launched from #17372: OpenCode uses Windows PowerShell 5.1 instead of the PowerShell 7 it was launched from — same root cause of OpenCode defaulting to/using PowerShell on Windows
   • PowerShell profile not loaded and inconsistent shell versions on Windows #17393: PowerShell profile not loaded and inconsistent shell versions on Windows — also covers OpenCode's PowerShell defaulting behavior on Windows

   If your issue is specifically about the upgrade to 1.3.7 introducing a regression (previously worked fine), it may still be worth keeping open as a separate regression report. Please review the above issues and comment if yours is distinct.

   set an env var if you want git bash again, e.g.

   SHELL=C:\Program Files\Git\bin\bash.exe

   For me powerhsell is not disabled but that's disapinting.

   I wnat my workflow to be unform around different OSes.

   Also bash scripts look more compact and easy to review before execution. it integrates well with git etc.

   Hwing PowerShell is a good bonus, but fact that it has repalced bash is really a bumer.

   Powershell should be additional tool, but it should not relace bash, especcialy using name Bash.

    As well as permissions etc and hook can be tied to bash. so they could be reused across OSes.
