The -p flag is used to specify the Windows Terminal profile that should be opened. Substitute 'Ubuntu-18.04' with the name of any terminal profile that you have installed. This will always open a new window. Windows Terminal is not yet capable of opening new tabs or panes in an existing instance. In Visual Studio Code, you can open an integrated terminal, initially starting at the root of your workspace. This can be convenient as you don't have to switch windows or alter the state of an existing terminal to perform a quick command-line task. To open the terminal: Use the Ctrl+` keyboard shortcut with the backtick character.

Installation
You can install Windows Terminal from the Microsoft Store.
If you don't have access to the Microsoft Store, the builds are published on the GitHub releases page. If you install from GitHub, the terminal will not automatically update with new versions.
First run
After installation, when you open the terminal, it will start with PowerShell as the default profile in the open tab.
Dynamic profiles
The terminal will automatically create profiles for you if you have WSL distros or multiple versions of PowerShell installed. Learn more about dynamic profiles on the Dynamic profiles page.
Open a new tab
You can open a new tab of the default profile by pressing Ctrl+Shift+T or by selecting the + (plus) button. To open a different profile, select the ˅ (arrow) next to the + button to open the dropdown menu. From there, you can select which profile to open.
