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.

You've probably stumbled upon this researching how to remove the Xbox Game Bar. This gist includes a few different methods you can try. Please note that some of these first options are probably not be available unless you are running an older version of Windows 10.

EDIT: make sure to check out the comment below from @nmhung1985 which seems to be working for most folks.

Git Submodules basic explanation

Why submodules?

In Git you can add a submodule to a repository. This is basically a repository embedded in your main repository. This can be very useful. A couple of usecases of submodules:

Separate big codebases into multiple repositories.

	-- Remove the history from
	rm -rf .git

	-- recreate the repos from the current content only
	git init
	git add .
	git commit -m "Initial commit"

	-- push to the github remote repos ensuring you overwrite history
	git remote add origin [email protected]:<YOUR ACCOUNT>/<YOUR REPOS>.git

	wget --no-check-certificate --content-disposition https://github.com/joyent/node/tarball/v0.7.1
	# --no-check-cerftificate was necessary for me to have wget not puke about https
	curl -LJO https://github.com/joyent/node/tarball/v0.7.1
