testing new toolchain in vs code - issues?

in VS Code, in the new toolchain /SDK management, when I click on Manage SDKs and then "install SDK", I get failure

Command failed: git ls-remote --tags --heads github.com/.../sdk-nrf

'git' is not recognized as an internal or external command,

operable program or batch file.

Second issue:
before I was used to open bash easily on toolchain manager.

Now, in VS Code, I cannot find open bash. I can open some terminals, but they land in the project folder, not on the sdk repo that I am using.

Clearly, it seems to me we miss the function to open bash from inside that specific SDK

Thanks
