I copied latest release and updated path but I do not understand what is it doing

PS G:\Git_Repos> git --version
PS G:\Git_Repos> git
PS G:\Git_Repos> wsl.exe bash -ic "git --version"
git version 2.17.1
PS G:\Git_Repos> wsl.exe git --version
git version 2.17.1
PS G:\Git_Repos> wslgit -v
PS G:\Git_Repos> wslgit --version
PS G:\Git_Repos> wslgit
PS G:\Git_Repos> wslgit clone https://github.com/py563/yayin.git
PS G:\Git_Repos>

System Info: WSL is ubuntu from windows store and Windows 10 Pro Insider Build 18890

Unfortunately, I cannot reproduce this. But I'm not on an Insider Build, so maybe something changed in recent versions.

Does setting the environment variable WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELL change anything? I.e. you could try

PS G:\Git_Repos> $env:WSLGIT_USE_INTERACTIVE_SHELL = "0"
PS G:\Git_Repos> wslgit --version

(but I see you already tried both variants manually)

To maybe isolate the problem, you could also try to redirect the output. Does

wslgit --version > output.txt

write anything to the file output.txt?

Also, do you run any anti virus software? Because some have blocked wslgit in the past. Can you run wslgit.exe by double clicking it (the terminal window should briefly appear and then close itself)? Or is access maybe blocked by some AV software or Windows Defender?

weird few restarts after some other programs I installed seemed to fix it.. I replaced my hard disk with ssd so I was installing again few old programs. So I am closing it I think it was one off problem
