Re: Use wsl's bash as shell on Windows 10

Thanks! That worked perfectly! How were you able to figure it out, as in, what was your thought process when writing your config? Asking so I can maybe help myself in the future :)

Hello,

Quoting my own config verbatim:

if has('win32')
set shell=bash shellcmdflag=-c shellredir=>%s\ 2>&1 shellslash noshelltemp
let &shellxescape = ''
let &shellxquote = has('nvim') ? '' : '"'
let $CYGWIN = 'noglob'
let $MSYS = 'noglob'
endif

Of course, you don't need has('nvim'), $CYGWIN or $MSYS if you have
neither of these.

Also, I'm not sure which one shall be correct for WSL and/or specific
Vim patch: shelltemp or noshelltemp? You may want to try both.

Regards,
Matvey
