Git Credential Manager Core in WSL2

git_credential_mgr_wsl2.md

I'll add more to this later but for now:

Find out how I have it set in regular Windows from the command prompt:

git config --list

Output:

... etc

credential.helper=C:/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Git\ Credential\ Manager\ Core/git-credential-manager-core.exe

... etc

That's the command above with escapes.

Here then is what I run in WSL2 Ubuntu shell; notice I'm adding /mnt/c/ and removing the colon.

git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/Git\ Credential\ Manager\ Core/git-credential-manager-core.exe"

(Still testing, not sure it's working yet...)

Hey man, here's a tip - try using the wslpath utility to convert a wsl path to a windows path and vice-versa.

It's not made by Microsoft, but I find that at least on the Ubuntu distros (for wsl2) it comes preinstalled. Life's better since I found this!
