Dumb question: I didn't get any exe after compiling? #57

I didn't install Rust in Windows, I just downloaded Rust with WSL: curl https://sh.rustup.rs -sSf | sh - this was recommended on the official page. Is that why I didn't get any exe? Am I missing something? image image

Well, yes. You compiled wslgit using the Linux toolchain of Rust, and therefore get a Linux executable (the wslgit file in your screenshot).

But for wslgit to work, you need a Windows executable (a .exe), which AFAIK you can only compile with the Windows version of Rust.
