More recent resolution:
1. cd ~/../../etc (go to etc folder in WSL).
2. echo "[network]" | sudo tee wsl.conf (Create wsl.conf file and add the first line).
3. echo "generateResolvConf = false" | sudo tee -a wsl.conf (Append wsl.conf the next line).
4. wsl --terminate Debian (Terminate WSL in Windows cmd, in case is Ubuntu not Debian).

Configure Git to use a proxy

Configure Git to use a proxy

In Brief

You may need to configure a proxy server if you're having trouble cloning or fetching from a remote repository or getting an error like unable to access '...' Couldn't resolve host '...'.

Consider something like:

A QUT Student's guide to the Horizon (client).

VMware Horizon Client Tutorial

Sometimes, it's necessary to try and connect to the QUT computers as a student, whether it be for using certain proprietary software, certain environments, or beefier computers?

This guide assumes you are not on campus and require a VPN client (Virtual Private Network) to behave as if you are at QUT.

Stop the working directory insanity

There are packages for this now!

2017-08-03: Since I wrote this in 2014, the universe, specifically Kirill Müller (https://github.com/krlmlr), has provided better solutions to this problem. I now recommend that you use one of these two packages:

  • rprojroot: This is the main package with functions to help you express paths in a way that will "just work" when developing interactively in an RStudio Project and when you render your file.
  • here: A lightweight wrapper around rprojroot that anticipates the most likely scenario: you want to write paths relative to the top-level directory, defined as an RStudio project or Git repo. TRY THIS FIRST.

I love these packages so much I wrote an ode to here.

I use these packages now instead of what I describe below. I'll leave this gist up for historical interest. 😆
