wslexec CircleCI

A wrapper to run a Linux command inside WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) from Windows native applications.

If you are looking for Git on WSL solution, andy-5/wslgit is the best.

Getting Started

Visual Studio Code and PHP

You can use PHP on WSL from Windows native Visual Studio Code.

Download the latest release and save as wslphp.exe.

Open Visual Studio Code and configure path as follows:

{
  "php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\Users\\USER\\Documents\\wslphp.exe"
}

Visual Studio and Node.js

WIP

How it works

Rename the binary to command name with prefix wsl. For example, rename the binary to wslgit to run the git command inside WSL.

Windows path translation

Windows paths (e.g. C:\) in command line are translated to WSL paths (e.g. /mnt/c).

For example,

wslgit.exe -C C:\Users\foo\example log

is translated to the following command:

git -C /mnt/c/Users/foo/example log

WSL path translation

WSL paths (e.g. /mnt/c) in standard input are translated to Windows paths (e.g. C:/).

For example,

/mnt/c/Users/foo/example

is translated to the following command:

c:/Users/foo/example
