Which terminal/shell are you running Git from? e.g Bash/CMD/PowerShell/other

run integrated git bash in visual studio code.
I have checked all vistual studio related setting, all good.
this issue only happens while I open a python proejct in visual studio code , and then open git bash in vs code.

What commands did you run to trigger this issue? If you can provide a
Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example
this will help us understand the issue.

I have checked all vistual studio related setting, all good. 
this issue only happens while I open a python proejct in visual studio code , and then open git bash in vs code.
here is the step:
1. install python(Python 3.12.4) in windows.
2. install Python extension for Visual Studio Code(ms-python.python) addon in vs code.
3. open a new python project first time in vs code 。
4. open gitbash in vscode，the command line prompt shows correct dir name(the python project home dir).
5. run Python: Select Interpreter, then  select "create new visual env", then select "Venv create .venv under current workspace", the wait the steps complete.
6. open gitbash in vscode，the command line prompt shows dir name is "C:/Users/xxx/AppData/Local/Programs/Microsoft VS Code" , and even shows the current git branch name of the python project.
7. run "pwd" command, it shows the correct dir(the python project home dir).

What did you expect to occur after running these commands?

the command line prompt shows the correct dir name.

What actually happened instead?

the command line prompt shows the wrong dir name.

If the problem was occurring with a specific repository, can you provide the
URL to that repository to help us with testing?

no .

That prompt is set via the PS1 shell variable, specifically via \w. Here is the Bash code that handles it.

One curious thing about this is that it looks at the PWD shell variable and it only calls getcwd() instead if `PWD is not set.

Can you verify via env | grep -i pwd that you have only one such variable? (I could imagine that there is a PWD one and a pwd one.)

If that is not the case, could you see whether there is another shell variable that contains that path, e.g. via `env | grep '=C:.*Microsoft.VS.Code$'?

Please see my reply below.
About this issue ,no matter how I set terminal cwd in vs code, git bash behaves same.

VIRTUAL_ENV=D:/ICCLOUDY/12客户/工具/py-stat/.venv

This is quite strange, by the way. Does VIRTUAL_ENV contain multi-line text?

And this is actively wrong. The first part of the PATH variable contains a Windows-style path list, with absolute Windows paths containing drive prefixes that are separated by ;. The second part is as expected: a Unix-style path list, with absolute Unix paths starting with / and separated by :.

I suspect that this is venv's doing, which may be lacking support for running in a Git Bash, assuming instead that it either runs on Linux/macOS/Unix in a Unix shell or on Windows in CMD/PowerShell, but not in the MSYS2 Bash that sort of emulates Unix paths but that emulation obviously cannot extend to the native Windows variant of Python.

no

I checked the python add-on repo, there is a same issue reported.

I did not realize that this could be the add-on issue...

I checked the python add-on repo, there is a same issue reported.

Could you please provide the link?

And what does realpath "$PWD" "$(pwd)" report?

And could you please run this realpath command?
