How do you disable the bell sound in Bash on Windows?

Question

I'm currently using Bash on Windows 10 in my Visual Studio Code. The bell ring is extremely annoying and I would like a good solution to disable it (other that turning the volume off or not making any mistakes...).

Answer 1

Run this in your windows bash shell:

echo "set bell-style none" >> ~/.inputrc

or edit .inputrc manually, then add set bell-style none, and restart your open bash shell to take effect.
