How come this STUPID thing makes sense?

  • You want to use Git on WSL for some good reason.
  • You also want to use VS Code.
  • But you don't want to break everything on WSL by accessing to WSL rootfs directly.
  • You neither want to leave a Samba server open to tons of malicious attempts over the Internet.
  • You don't want to mess up WSL by installing gigantic Apache or nginx, too.
  • However, you need to run tests against files on the Git repositories using IE and Edge.

This is how you should find it a neat idea.
