Then just ctrl + o to save and ctrl + x to exit. What I am going to do is goto the bottom of my config and create an alias, in my case using the work 'projects' and I am going to have it point to that Windows home projects folder. bashrc again if that was your shell of choice. zshrc - Will open up my zsh config in the nano editor. The steps are the same.Ĭd - Brings me to my Linux home Directory. zshrc depending on which shell your using.

So what I do next is make an alias to my path in my. So, mine would be /mnt/c/Users/timap/Projects. So the first think we want to do is document that path.in mine it's /mnt/c/Users/timap we're just going to add our Projects folder to that path assuming you created it in your Windows Home. Unless you have changed it, WSL usually defaults you to your Windows home directory instead of the Linux user directory. And there are some other benefits to keeping it on the Windows side. But from the subsystem to Windows is no problem. It's a little more difficult navigating from within Windows to the subsystem. I do a lot of stuff that doesn't necessarily require me to be in the Linux Subsystem all the time, but I like to always work out of one directory whichever interface I'm in.įirst off you need to make your Projects folder or whatever you would like to call it. The side bonus is it's easier to keep your project folder backed up.įirst thing, when I say project folder, what I am referring to is one folder I call Projects and I keep everything I'm working on in there. The main goal is to operate in the same project folders whether you are operating within WSL or Windows itself. This is going to be short and sweet since it's not that complicated.
