Windows WSL2 和 git

Question

I'm using WSL2, everything seems ok except that the files in Windows are not synced within WSL, what I mean by that is, if I navigate to a git repo (folder) and run git status , I see two different results inside WSL console and Windows Powershell, the WSL result is incorrect.

result from Powershell

nothing to commit, working tree clean

result from WSL

There are a lot of changes to commit I just copied the first few lines

How can it be fixed?

Answer 1

I had this issue with WSL1, but it's gone with WSL2 actually. The issue reproduced in case I used git clone inside Linux machine but then opened this folder from Windows host. IDEA hasn't recognised that the folder has any git initiated repo. I guess it was something with permissions to .git folder over the sharing stack (not sure is it samba or something else). After I switched my distribution to WSL2 everything became fine.
