  • oh-my-zsh slow on WSL2 git directory

    You might notice oh-my-zsh very slow on WSL2 shell, especially when you cd into a directory with git enabled.

    This can be resolved by running following command

    git config --global oh-my-zsh.hide-status 1

  • git clone error “Operation not permitted” on WSL2 Shell

    On a clean installed WSL2 (Windows SubSystem for Linux Gen 2), you might get error “Operation not permitted” when trying to run command git clone on the shell.

    To resolve this, simple run following commands:

    sudo umount /mnt/c
sudo mount -t drvfs C: /mnt/c -o metadata

    You might need to replace the drive letter if you hit error on other drivers.
