Execute command inside Windows Terminal and WSL

I do it like this:

wt -p "Ubuntu" wsl zsh -c "command_to_execute"
  • Ubuntu is the name of the profile
  • zsh is my shell
  • command_to_execute is what I would type into zsh

For example, to open vim at a given path:

wt -p "Ubuntu" wsl zsh -c "vim $(wslpath 'C:\myfile.txt')"
