'Why is Git on WSL2 with SouceTree so slow for me?
My environment is as follows.
- Windows10（version 2004, build 19041.572）
- 64 bit OS
- On WSL2, I use Ubuntu（Ubuntu-20.04）
- I use git with SourceTree.
I use docker-compose to develop Web services. Running docker-compose on Windows is very slow for accessing web pages. I created a docker environment in the Ubuntu's Home folder on WSL2. Web site data (Laravel) is installed in the docker environment on WSL2 and managed by git.
How can i improve the speed of SourceTree on WSL2? Git on Windows is faster.

My solution is to use git tasks/command inside the IDE that supports WSL.
I use Visual Studio Code inside WSL 2 and use git extensions to do git tasks/commands. The performance is superb! :-D

I know link-only answers are frowned upon, but I found this: https://gist.github.com/jasonboukheir/3fdab92ece236744528447a4f7f5de00
It's a clever, if somewhat kludgy solution, whereby you end up using WSL git for Linux-y paths, and Windows git for Windows-y paths.
