wslpath is a new tool you can use to convert paths between Windows and Linux. Run wslpath in a WSL environment.

The options are:

-a force result to absolute path format
-u translate from a Windows path to a WSL path (default)
-w translate from a WSL path to a Windows path
-m translate from a WSL path to a Windows path, with ‘/’ instead of ‘\\’

Example:

➜  ~ wslpath "C:\Users\loli"
/mnt/c/Users/loli
➜  ~ wslpath "C:\Windows\System32"
/mnt/c/Windows/System32
➜  ~

but wslpath throw an exception when the parameter is not a path, for example:

git clone git@github.com:hangxingliu/wslgit.git "C:\Projects\wslgit"

and it hard to replace linux path to windows path in stdout of git

wslpath will give non-zero return code if it failed to transform the input path, maybe we can leverage on this to test against each argument.
