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.

Installation

Install using stow:

stow -v -d . -t /usr/local utils

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)
• powershell: run PowerShell inside WSL terminal.
• start: start tmux as a sub-process of ssh-agent and attach to the main session, creating it if not existent.
• wsl: use the WSL to WSL the WSL.
