wslexec
A wrapper to run a Linux command inside WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) from Windows native applications.
If you are looking for Git on WSL solution, andy-5/wslgit is the best.
Getting Started
Visual Studio Code and PHP
You can use PHP on WSL from Windows native Visual Studio Code.
Download the latest release and save as wslphp.exe
.
Open Visual Studio Code and configure path as follows:
{
"php.validate.executablePath": "C:\\Users\\USER\\Documents\\wslphp.exe"
}
Visual Studio and Node.js

How it works
Rename the binary to command name with prefix wsl
.
For example, rename the binary to wslgit
to run the git
command inside WSL.
Windows path translation
Windows paths (e.g. C:\
) in command line are translated to WSL paths (e.g. /mnt/c
).
For example,
wslgit.exe -C C:\Users\foo\example log
is translated to the following command:
git -C /mnt/c/Users/foo/example log
WSL path translation
WSL paths (e.g. /mnt/c
) in standard input are translated to Windows paths (e.g. C:/
).
For example,
/mnt/c/Users/foo/example
is translated to the following command:
c:/Users/foo/example
