Contributing: Should I install Git for Windows or continue using WSL?

[smill841]

Hi, I'm Sylvi! I would like to try contributing to this project through bug finding/fixes. I haven't worked on a Powershell script before, or anything that would require Windows to run.

I have Windows 11 as my OS, with WSL 2 and Ubuntu installed. I've previously cloned Git repositories to my Linux VM, but I figured it would make more sense to store my clone of this project in the Windows user files (/mnt/c/<respository_path>). To any contributors with similar setups, would you recommend that I install Git for Windows in order to work on this project, or is using Git through WSL sufficient? I can provide more details if the question doesn't make sense.

Use Git for Windows. The script and the tests run in PowerShell on Windows (CONTRIBUTING.md), so one shell does all.

Git in WSL also works, but it is slow on /mnt/c. If it shows mode changes on all files, run git config core.fileMode false.
