How to setup a development environment where Git from WSL integrates with native Windows applications, using the Windows home folder as the WSL home and using Git from WSL for all tools.

Note if using Git for Windows, or any tool on the Windows side that does not use Git from WSL then there will likely be problems with file permissions if using those files from inside WSL.

Tools

These are the tools I use:

git (wsl) - Command line git from within WSL.
Fork (windows) - Git GUI (must be used with wslgit)
wslgit - Makes git from WSL available for Windows applications. Important! Follow the installation instructions and do (at least) the first optional step and then the Usage in Fork instructions.

Switch to the main branch, usually 'develop':
```
 git checkout develop
```

I've just copy-pasted it from somewhere over the Internet, but I cannot remember what exactly the original source is. I was also not able to find the author's name, so I cannot give him/her the proper credits.

Stuff I wish I'd known sooner about service workers

I recently had several days of extremely frustrating experiences with service workers. Here are a few things I've since learned which would have made my life much easier but which isn't particularly obvious from most of the blog posts and videos I've seen.

I'll add to this list over time – suggested additions welcome in the comments or via twitter.com/rich_harris.

Use Canary for development instead of Chrome stable

Chrome 51 has some pretty wild behaviour related to console.log in service workers. Canary doesn't, and it has a load of really good service worker related stuff in devtools.

	chrome.storage.local.get("state", o => (
	((f, t) => {
	let e = document.createElement("a");
	e.setAttribute("href", `data:text/plain;charset=utf-8,${encodeURIComponent(t)}`);
	e.setAttribute("download", f);
	e.click();
	})(`TobyBackup${Date.now()}.json`, o.state)
	));

	height: 100%;
	background-color: #ccccff;
