#   # Delete path by parts so we can never accidentally remove sub paths
#   PATH=${PATH//":$1:"/":"} # delete any instances in the middle
#   PATH=${PATH/#"$1:"/} # delete any instance at the beginning
#   PATH=${PATH/%":$1"/} # delete any instance in the at the end

# path_remove '/mnt/c/Users/me/AppData/Roaming/npm'
# path_remove '/mnt/c/Users/me/AppData/Local/Yarn/bin'

# So this is not the best way to solve this. Also, VS Code doesnt read .profile file, so you have to put in the same function here if you want to read it there.
# I solved the path leaking by removing from Windows by hand. I suggest to setup this on a freshly installed computer.

.profile

## you can also add this to your .bashrc because vscode integrated terminal has a bug

After installing WSL 2 and Windows Terminal respectively, go into the distro of your choice, preferably Ubuntu, without ZSH, only bash.

type sudo apt update && sudo apt dist-upgrade

after the prompt install composer sudo apt install composer

run composer to check if it works

but before that install php-zip also php-mbstring and php-xml which is not included in the composer default packages sudo apt install php-zip php-mbstring php-xml

after that install global laravel composer global require laravel/installer

run laravel to check if it works

if the command is not found use this export PATH="$HOME/.config/composer/vendor/bin:$PATH"

starter.md

It is discouraged to turn off passwd for root, but we are inside wsl, and i am too lazy for typing the password of mine, so There is a clever oneliner for it, but its too much of a hassle, so here are the prompts

sudo visudo

end of the file:

%sudo ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL

so it wont ask for the passwd ever again, but you still have to type sudo...
