• Create/etc/wsl.conf inside the WSL system

• Copy the content ofwsl.conf into/etc/wsl.conf

• Restart WSL via the following powershell command (Administrator permissoin is required):

net stop LxssManager

• Or usegsudo

  • Installgsudo

  scoop install gsudo

  • Usesudo to get Administrator permission

  sudo net stop LxssManager

NOTE: ALL STEP SHOULD BE DONE INSIDE WSL 1!

• Setumask to 0022

umask 0022

• Clone this repo to/c/Users/<WindowsUserName>/dotfiles, this will make sure that all the files are save inWindows file system, also make sure that all files are usingLF as EOL.

  • via https

  git clone https://github.com/jonz94/dotfiles.git /c/Users/$(powershell.exe'$env:USERNAME'| tr -d$'\r')/dotfiles

  • or via ssh

  git clone git@github.com:jonz94/dotfiles.git /c/Users/$(powershell.exe'$env:USERNAME'| tr -d$'\r')/dotfiles

• In WSL 1, create a symbolic link via following command:

ln -s /c/Users/$(powershell.exe'$env:USERNAME'| tr -d$'\r')/dotfiles~/dotfiles

These step are important! And the reason isDo not change Linux files using Windows apps and tools

If you want to useboth Windows Tools and Linux Tools to changing some files or directories in WSL. The solution I found is:

• Put those thing in Windows file system. (This makes Windows Tools happy.)
• In WSL,create a symbolic link which points to file/directory in Windows file system. (This makes Linux Tools happy.)

• Executebootstrap.sh viabash to settting up WSL.

cd~/dotfiles&& bash bootstrap.sh

• Done 🎉
