Mintty as a terminal for Bash on Ubuntu on Windows / WSL.
#### Overview ####
### Overview ###
Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install
* wsltty package components (see below) in the user’s application directory (where WSL is also installed)
@ -10,7 +10,26 @@ Run the [installer](https://github.com/mintty/wsltty/releases) to install
* a script `wsl.bat` to invoke wsltty manually; copy the script from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` to `%SYSTEMROOT%\System32` if desired
* an uninstall script that can be invoked manually to remove shortcuts and context menu entries
#### Components ####
### Configuration ###
#### Command line script wsl.bat ####
* To enable invocation of this script from WIN+R or from cmd.exe,
copy it from `%LOCALAPPDATA%\wsltty` into `%SYSTEMROOT%\System32`.
(The package does not do this to avoid trouble with missing admin privileges.)
* To start the terminal in the current directory when calling the script from the command line,
modify it (or a copy for this purpose) and remove the final `-l` parameter.
* To enforce starting in your Linux home directory, do *either* of:
* On Linux side, add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile`.
* In the script (or a copy for this purpose), add `-C~` as first parameter of `wslbridge`: `... /bin/wslbridge -C~ -t /bin/bash -l`.
#### Desktop shortcut and Start menu shortcut ####
To enforce starting in your Linux home directory, do *either* of:
* On Linux side, add a `cd` command to your `$HOME/.profile`.
* Open Shortcut Properties; in the Target, add `-C~` as first parameter of `wslbridge`: `... /bin/wslbridge -C~ -t /bin/bash -l`.
