How to setup a development environment where Git from WSL integrates with native Windows applications, using the Windows home folder as the WSL home and using Git from WSL for all tools.

Note if using Git for Windows, or any tool on the Windows side that does not use Git from WSL then there will likely be problems with file permissions if using those files from inside WSL.

Tools

These are the tools I use:

• git (wsl) - Command line git from within WSL.
• Fork (windows) - Git GUI (must be used with wslgit)
• wslgit - Makes git from WSL available for Windows applications. Important! Follow the installation instructions and do (at least) the first optional step and then the Usage in Fork instructions.

# This task should be run inside an environment that is already configured to connect to the redis
# instance that we're transfering AWAY FROM.
#
# The task should be handed the URL of the redis instance that we're MOVING TO.
#
# To run it and pass in the destination Redis you'd do something like this:
# rake sidekiq:transfer[redis://...]
#
# As jobs are added to the destination Redis, they're deleted from the source Redis. This
# allows the task to be restarted cleanly if it fails in the middle due to a network error

Client-side SSL

For excessively paranoid client authentication.

Using self-signed certificate.

Create a Certificate Authority root (which represents this server)

Organization & Common Name: Some human identifier for this server CA.

openssl genrsa -des3 -out ca.key 4096
openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key ca.key -out ca.crt
