How to setup a development environment where Git from WSL integrates with native Windows applications, using the Windows home folder as the WSL home and using Git from WSL for all tools.

Note if using Git for Windows, or any tool on the Windows side that does not use Git from WSL then there will likely be problems with file permissions if using those files from inside WSL.

Tools

These are the tools I use:

• git (wsl) - Command line git from within WSL.
• Fork (windows) - Git GUI (must be used with wslgit)
• wslgit - Makes git from WSL available for Windows applications. Important! Follow the installation instructions and do (at least) the first optional step and then the Usage in Fork instructions.

# to see all colors, run
# bash -c 'for c in {0..255}; do tput setaf $c; tput setaf $c | cat -v; echo =$c; done'
# the first 15 entries are the 8-bit colors

# define standard colors
ifneq (,$(findstring xterm,${TERM}))
	BLACK        := $(shell tput -Txterm setaf 0)
	RED          := $(shell tput -Txterm setaf 1)

How To - Upload and add Images to markdown files in Gist

Markdown files allow embedding images in it. However it requires the image to be hosted at some location and we can add the url of the image to embed it.

Example: ![Alternate image text](https://someurl/imagelocation/image.png)

We can use services like imgur or other services to host the images and use the hosted URL.
