| 1. Create a file: /etc/wsl.conf. | |
| 2. Put the following lines in the file in order to ensure the your DNS changes do not get blown away | |
| [network] | |
| generateResolvConf = false | |
| 3. In a cmd window, run wsl --shutdown | |
| 4. Restart WSL2 | |
| 5. Create a file: /etc/resolv.conf. If it exists, replace existing one with this new file: `rm /etc/resolv.conf` | |
| 6. Put the following line in the file | |
| `nameserver 8.8.8.8` # Or use your DNS server instead of 8.8.8.8 which is a Google DNS server | |
| 7. Repeat step 3 and 4. You will see git working fine now. | |
