Normalised `open` doesn't work as expected on WSL2
First of thanks for sharing your dotfiles, it's been a major source of inspiration to setup my WSL2 machine lately.
So, I tried using the normalised open
(line #144 of the .functions
file) code snippet on a WSL2 Ubuntu distro & it won't work as expected. I suspect grep
can't read the /proc/version
file due to missing sudo
privileges(?). I bet a better solution would be to grep
the output of uname -r
which doesn't require sudo
privileges.
A possible "better" solution could be:
if [ ! $(uname -s) = 'Darwin' ]; then
if [ $(uname -r | grep -i 'microsoft') ]; then
# Ubuntu on Windows using the Linux subsystem
alias open='explorer.exe';
else
alias open='xdg-open';

EDIT: Provided a "better" solution & I don't mind opening a PR with the above changes 😄
