- Copy gitkraken-wsl-bash.bat and gitkraken-wsl-bash.sh, I put them in ~/bin.
- Make sure that the script path in the bat-file and MOUNT_ROOT in the sh-file are correct.
- Set
gitkraken-wsl-bash.bat
as 'Path to sh.exe' in GitKraken.

This does not work for new versions of gitkraken.
In windows 11 you can just run the Linux version.

On windows 10 I used this
https://opticos.github.io/gwsl/
It actually works fine for me on Windows 11 with latest GitKraken.
I've tried a lot of xservers previously and also tried wslg. It looks promising but still has too many issues. I am going with this workaround for now.
@DAmNRelentless how did you get this to work with later versions of gitkraken?
I thought they used an internal git implementation instead of external commands?
I put both files into the same directory, adjusted the path in the gitkraken-wsl-bash.bat
and set my GitKraken path for the sh.exe
to this batch file.
