GitHub Authentication Token Behind Corporate Proxy

When your are behind a corporate proxy it might be difficult to use SSH to communicate with [github.com][3], since this type of traffic may be blocked. A way to get around this is to authenticate over HTTPS instead, and supplying a username and password.

However, if two factor authentication is enabled, as it should be, this method will fail since the current interface does not support this. The solution is to create an authentication token to use for this specific machine.

Open the Configuration Menu

All of these settings are accessed by typing

about:config

Windows Subsystem for Linux on Windows 10 Server

Microsoft seems to prefer you installed WSL through their Windows Store, but the problem is that this Store does not exist on the server versions of Windows 10. This gist is therefore my notes on how to install it manually, using PowerShell.

[The official guide][1] is already quite short and informative, so this will basically just be a recap with some informative notes throughout.

Enable WSL
