WSLGit

This project is a fork of https://github.com/hangxingliu/wslgit The purpose is to enable wslgit in Smartgit, the git client myself use a lot.

This basically dded a dirty quick fix to allow Smartgit to do push/pull with git in WSL.

For it to work properly, you need,

• The repo need to setup correctly and credential saved.
• do git config credential.helper store in WSL
• then do a push/pull manually in WSL, type in credentials to have credential saved.

Now when you push/pull in smartgit in Windows, it uses credential stored in WSL. So you need to do this for each remote. I know it is dirty, but I don't want to spend more time on it....

Usage

1. Please ensure git is installed in your WSL.
2. Copy wslgit.sh to the /usr/bin/ or ~/bin directory in your WSL.
3. Add the following config into your VSCode Settings.
   • { "git.path": "C:\\path\\to\\git.bat" }

🐢 Feeling slowly? (Disable interactive shell)

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.

via GUI

via Powershell

[System.Environment]::SetEnvironmentVariable("WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELL", "false", "User")
