WSL-GIT docs should cover the case GCM is installed on a ARM device
WSL-GIT docs should cover the case GCM is installed on an ARM device
Dec 3, 2024
Documentation Issue
in
WSL/tutorials/wsl-git.md
, the full path to the Windows mount are given, to allow GCM to work in WSL:e.g:
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe"
However, these path are architecture-dependent and do not apply, for instance, to ARM devices. In such cases, running git in WSL would give:
/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe get: 1: /mnt/c/Program Files/Git/mingw64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe: not found

Suggested Improvements
The path for ARM64 should also be included in the docs:
git config --global credential.helper "/mnt/c/Program\ Files/Git/clangarm64/bin/git-credential-manager.exe"
or alternatively a note should be added in order to make users aware of this scenario
