Which Git is referred here? #1785

Documentation Issue

In https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/tutorials/wsl-git page Git Credential Manager setup section has a line that says "If GIT installed is >= v2.39.0" which is unclear as to whether Git here is referring to Git in WSL Linux or Windows.

The paragraph starts with "open your distribution and enter this command". Does not that mean git in WSL?

The best performance would be achieved -

  1. Use git in WSL when the git repository is cloned in WSL.
  2. Use git in Windows when the git repository is cloned in Windows.

Not vice-versa.

The line before says "Open up your WSL distribution and enter this command" indicating that this should be run within WSL. I think it's clear enough that it should be the git in WSL, without adding too much text to the doc. Thanks for the submission!
