    WSL

    Open in Linux subsystem

    I'm on Windows 10 Home with May Update and have Ubunto 18.04 for WSL installed, I can open the console in any folder with Shift + Right Click and selecting the Open Linux shell here option

    Shift + Right Click -> Open Linux shell

    Source

    Command Line

    Open in your designated file path and run the command

    ubuntu run

    Which will open the ubuntu WSL in that specific folder.

    WSL to Windows

    If you're in specific file path and you just need to view that directory or workspace in GUI.

    You could utilize this command and it will directly open up the $pwd path in your file explorer.

    explorer.exe .

    Source

    Or if you need VS Code to open up a project.

    code .

    Windows Path

    You can set path on default shell

    By this I can open a specific $pwd in explorer to view it So when we enter open .`` it would internally convert that syntax toexplorer.exe .`` Pretty sweet Window to Unix support Header bridge.

    open .
