Some things that may help you.
Keep in mind that my solution caters to both being in a /mnt/* path, and also being in my symlink path.
When you make a symbolic link, as in: ln -s /mnt/c/Users/bar $HOME/bar and cd into that, the $PWD will reflect that.
This simply uses git.exe or /usr/bin/git depending on your $PWD
# This is for your .bashrc
## checks to see if we are in a windows or linux dir
function isWinDir {
case $PWD/ in
/mnt/*) return $(true);;
## if you like to use a symlink to /mnt/c/Users/bar you gotta do this..
/home/foo/bar/*) return $(true);;
*) return $(false);;
esac
}
## wrap the git command to either run windows git or linux
function git {
if isWinDir
then
git.exe "$@"
else
/usr/bin/git "$@"
fi
}This is a technique to clean up the path slashes and use git.exe if in /mnt (or symlink)
