Add this to your .bashrc, .zshrc (or equivalent)

# Get the IP address of the host from /etc/resolv.conf
export WSL_HOST=$(tail -1 /etc/resolv.conf | cut -d' ' -f2)

# Set the display path
export DISPLAY=$WSL_HOST:0.0

Set MTU size in WSL to fix discrepancies between VPN clients on Windows Host and the WSL machine

Update MTU without entering a password¶

This corrects issues you might have with various VPN Clients having discrepancies with MTU size between WSL and the Windows Host.

Create a file /usr/local/sbin/mtu and add the following:

#!/bin/bash

ip link set dev eth0 mtu 1400

Git Squash alias, from amazingly clean explanation on stackoverflow

From This other answer on the same thread

Based on Chris Johnsen's answer:

I added this line to the [alias] section of my git config file (~/.gitconfig):

squash = "!f(){ git reset --soft HEAD~${1} && git commit --edit -m\"$(git log --format=%B --reverse HEAD..HEAD@{1})\"; };f"
