Thanks for creating this script! You saved my day! 👌

@itaysk Would you know how to do this in python ? I want to do this midway through my pipeline

Note to self: you may need to run

echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null

when using WSL2

Legend, thanks! Worked like a charm.
