I'm trying to set up a web development environment using a guide on Medium. The author says we need to install Git for both Windows and for Windows Subsystem for Linux. Git takes up a lot of space. Do we need to install it twice?
I have Visual Studio Code and Ubuntu (WSL). I also installed Git for Windows 10.
Git For Windows differs from the Linux Git.
So, if you want to execute commands in a Windows CMD and a Linux WSL shell, then yes, you would need to install both.
On Windows side, that can mean simply uncompressing the self-extracting archive PortableGit-2.22.0-64-bit.7z.exe anywhere you want, and add it to your PATH.
