Proxy commands from Windows command line to Bash using the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)

These scripts allow you to proxy commands (specifically git, in this example) to the Windows Subsystem for Linux from the normal Windows command line environment. This allows you to work with a single installation of git (under your Linux distribution) instead of trying to manage two concurrent installations.

I explicitly created these scripts to allow using Git in Visual Studio Code without installing it under Windows.

Please note that I have not extensively tested edge cases! If you run into problems, please let me know!

	# This is an example Makefile stub that demonstrates how to load variables from a dotenv file into
	# your Make environment. Note that it isn't perfect; for instance, the double-quoted JSON string
	# in the example file will probably not parse correctly because the escape characters will remain
	# as part of the string when it is passed through Make, non-JSON multiline strings will cause the
	# file to fail to parse with an obscure Make error, and some advanced features such as interpolation
	# are not supported.

	# I always start my Makefiles with this command, because then they're effectively self-documenting

	Inspired by this lovely little gem: https://github.com/amoallim15/base-emoji

	But using something a little closer to the base64 algorithm (effectively base128, using emojis).

	Comparison of a 13 character/13 byte string in two encodings:

	$ base-64 <<< 'Hello, world!'
