I am using Windows Subsystem for Linux 1 (WSL1). I have a git repo there where I develop and work on software projects. I also have MATLAB but it is installed on Windows (not on WSL1). I'd like to save files in a directory on WSL1 (e.g. /home/USERNAME/projects/MATLAB
) while working on them via my Windows MATLAB installation.
I think I can map my WSL1 drive to My Computer
on Windows and then navigate to /home/USERNAME/projects/MATLAB
and save files that way.
But I'm wondering, is it okay to do this? Or will there be some type of file problems/conflicts/corruption, since I'm mixing Windows with WSL1. Perhaps there is a smarter way to accomplish this and if so I'd be more than happy to hear it.
ln -s
one from /mnt/c/blahblahblah in its place. Bad juju will happen if you mess with the Linux files from the Windows side.
