Simple steps that I followed on windows 10 -open the command line application with administrator rights -run wsl --install. - Restart the computer -check installed distributions, wsl --list --online -run ubuntu distribution, wsl -d ubuntu -add username and password After the above steps I was able to set up git on ubuntu NB: to start wsl when you stopped, just type wsl -u "the username u created" in the command line On Mon, Oct 10, 2022 at 9:22 PM Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@xxxxxxxxxx> wrote: > > On 10/10/2022 2:17 PM, NSENGIYUMVA WILBERFORCE wrote: > > thank you all for your suggestions, let me see what is easy for me > > > > On Mon, Oct 10, 2022 at 7:58 PM Luna Jernberg <droidbittin@xxxxxxxxx> wrote: > >> > >> Maybe WSL can be used?: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install > > If you do go the WSL route, then please share your learnings by updating the > contributing doc either in git-for-windows/git [1] or here on the mailing list. > > [1] https://github.com/git-for-windows/git/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md > > Thanks, > -Stolee
