Use Git installed in WSL(windows Subsystem for Linux) from Windows and Visual Studio Code.
The project was inspired by A. R. S.'s project andy-5/wslgit written by Rust.
But why do I re-implement it by scripts, because I hope the wslgit tools could support any mount points (but not only under the /mnt/) and could be used without compiling.
- Please ensure
gitis installed in your WSL. - Copy
wslgit.shto the/usr/bin/or~/bindirectory in your WSL. - Add the following config into your VSCode Settings.
{ "git.path": "C:\\path\\to\\git.bat" }
wslgit launch git installed in WSL in interactive shell mode by default now.
In short, the ssh-agent setup in .bashrc script is supported. but slower then non-interactive mode.
If you want disable interactive shell to reduce launch time, you can set Windows environment variable WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELL to false.
[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELL", "false", "User")- Fixed bug caused by Windows 10 19H1 changed the output of
mountcommand
- BREAKING CHANGE: Start git installed in WSL in interactive mode.
- If you want to use non-interactive mode, just like before: Set Windows env variable
WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELLtotrue.
- If you want to use non-interactive mode, just like before: Set Windows env variable
- Fixed error in the unix path to win path convert function.
- Related issue: #11 (Thanks @rennex)
- Added path converting for the output of
git init
- Pass all arguments and env variable
WSLGIT_SH_CWDintowslgit.shin WSL when you or VSCode executegit.bat. - Get all mounted drive info by
mount -t drvfscommand inwslgit.sh. - Move cwd(current working directory) to
WSLGIT_SH_CWD. - Iterate arguments, and replace each path argument from Windows style to Linux style by reference to mounted drive info.
- And convert the path in the git output to Windows style if git arguments included special keywords/actions. (Eg.
rev-parse,remote) - Why the it doesn't use
wslpathfor path convert, please reference to the test case: test-win/main.js
- Automatic test on Linux (also WSL): test-ci/main.sh
- Semi-automated test on Windows: CONTRIBUTING.md
