Can some of you folks who use Windows for development suggest some guides on workflow? For example, regarding WSL (Bash on Windows), I’ve read stern warnings against modifying any WSL files from Windows. So that means I’m not supposed to use Windows Atom editor to edit files that exist in my WSL f…

[image] Azolo: I like it better than VirtualBox most of the time. Except I’ve yet to figure out how to get a GUI. Terminals work fine though… >.< [image] Azolo: I think the only big limitation now is symlinks and those fixed on the insider fast track I think. I would have to check agai…

At work we’re starting to use Elixir but we have lots of old software in .NET, which forces us to use Windows mostly… To avoid switching the full environment too much I tried using WSL, if that could be a nicer devenvironment for our elixir software, to my surprise, I at least like it better than ju…

I use Windows for all my development. Set .gitattributes to not do line conversions. Set your editor to use ‘\n’ for line endings. When using LOAD DATA INFILE with MySQL, explicitly specify what the line ending should be. Use either Git for Windows or Git in WSL. Do not mix them. Native Windows ap…

[image] notriddle: Use iex.bat --werl. Oh right, remove-item alias:iex -Force is in my profile. [image] notriddle: Do not use MSYS2. I only use msys2 to compile things using mingw-w64. Using pacman to fetch dependencies is super nice too.

[image] Azolo: Is there something in particular that you don’t like? You can’t have VirtualBox or an Android Emulator or any other VM anymore thats not from MS when Hyper-V is activated.

I think you’re right. I’m not that windows proficient and what I did before was solutions I found after many hours of googling… But bash is nice and it both feel better to use than whichever terminal native to windows I tried and elixir seems simpler, just better off in it. Terminals in windows is j…

[image] sebber: Docker was fine when it just used VirtualBox As I mentioned quite a few times now (also in this Thread), docker still can use VBox on windows, just use Docker Toolbox instead of Docker for Windows . I know, Toolbox isn’t advertised anymore, but at least they said that they wan…

[image] NobbZ: As I mentioned quite a few times now (also in this Thread), docker still can use VBox on windows, just use Docker Toolbox instead of Docker for Windows. Thanks, I have totally missed your posts regarding docker! I’ll definitly try it out, guess if I’ve even seen Toolbox around…
