ShellDialect

ShellDialect = "posix-sh" | "win32-cmd" | "powershell"

Defined in: command/shell-dialect.ts:15

The shell language a command line is written in.

It names the shell’s grammar, not the operating system running it: PowerShell is the default shell on Windows Server but also runs on Linux and macOS, and a POSIX shell is what runs under WSL, Cygwin and Git Bash on Windows.
