Solution of git status/commands slow in WSL2

git-status-commands-slow-in-WSL2.md

I came up with a dumb but useful workaround for this specific case. It works because windows git is faster against ntfs and I don't need any linux specific things for git at least.

I put this in my bash .profile

# checks to see if we are in a windows or linux dir
function isWinDir {
  case $PWD/ in
    /mnt/*) return $(true);;
    *) return $(false);;
  esac
}
# wrap the git command to either run windows git or linux
function git {
  if isWinDir
  then
    git.exe "$@"
  else
    /usr/bin/git "$@"
  fi
}
