GitBash not showing up as a terminal option in Visual Studio Code

I am trying to insert GitBash as an option in Visual Studio Code. My settings look like so:

"terminal.integrated.profiles.windows": {
    "PowerShell": {
      "source": "PowerShell",
      "icon": "terminal-powershell"
    },
    "Command Prompt": {
      "path": [
        "${env:windir}\\Sysnative\\cmd.exe",
        "${env:windir}\\System32\\cmd.exe"
      ],
      "args": [],
      "icon": "terminal-cmd"
    },
    "GitBash": {
      "source": "GitBash",
      "path": ["F:\\Code\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe"],
      "icon": "terminal-bash"
    }
  },
  "terminal.integrated.defaultProfile.windows": "GitBash"

However, at the last line, the error that Visual Studio Code gave is:

Value is not accepted. Valid values: "PowerShell", "Command Prompt".(1)
The default profile used on Windows. This setting will currently be ignored if either #terminal.integrated.shell.windows# or #terminal.integrated.shellArgs.windows# are set.

I do not understand where I went wrong.

Note: "terminal.integrated.shell.windows" is deprecated as of April 2021.
