Installing GitButler on Windows via WSL - A Complete Guide

This guide will provide a complete walkthrough for getting GitButler setup and functioning on a windows environment using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).

Please note that GitButler on windows via wsl is not well tested and not officially supported, though one of the top priorities of the GitButler team is to get a working windows build out asap. For now, however this is the easiest solution I have developed.

Prerequisites:

• You must be running Windows 10 version 2004 and higher (Build 19041 and higher) or Windows 11 for this guide to work correctly.
• I highly suggest using the windows terminal app for doing all the command line work if you are not using it already, though this is not required.

Code is clean if it can be understood easily – by everyone on the team. Clean code can be read and enhanced by a developer other than its original author. With understandability comes readability, changeability, extensibility and maintainability.

General rules

1. Follow standard conventions.
2. Keep it simple stupid. Simpler is always better. Reduce complexity as much as possible.
3. Boy scout rule. Leave the campground cleaner than you found it.
4. Always find root cause. Always look for the root cause of a problem.
