+# WSL Helpers
+
+These are small scripts to help with living in the WSL on Windows. Mostly
+wrappers to easily run Windows executables without having to hunt down the full
+path to the binaries.
+
+# Scripts
+
+- `explorer`: open current directory in Windows Explorer
+- `ipfonfig`: use Windows' `ipconfig` command, WSL does not provide or support
+  `ifconfig` (kind of redundant because we can use `ip` in the WSL but keeping
+  it here anyway for convenience)
+- `wsl`: use the WSL to WSL the WSL.
