Use these scripts to quickly bootstrap new WSL instances. The scripts can be executed with this command:
bash <(curl -sL https://gist.github.com/haakemon/31028cd0b479ce8546c7809f6f0a7400/raw/wsl-init.sh)appendWindowsPath is set to false, to avoid issues where certain tools (often npm) gets executed with the Windows instance instead of the WSL instance.
