Fork WSL - Git Error An unexpected error occured while performing the git request - empty dialog

[efsjouw]

Hi I keep getting this error dialog quite a lot of times during the day, I can just close it and then retry and then the operation appear to work again.

I am using the WSL variant from over here.

Any idea on how I might know what the problem is in the first place?

I experienced the same issue. Like you said, several times a day I got exactly the same empty dialog. The only fix I found was to switch back to the regular (non-WSL) version of Fork, combined with WSLGit. I've been using this set-up for weeks without a single error since.

Could you check if there are any details in the log file %localappdata%\fork\logs\fork.log?

Ah yes here is the log from today I do see some Git request failed messages in there.

fork.log

Just got a whole bunch of them just now.
