Windows Subsystem for Linux: /home/user (Linux Home Directory Path) to use for ConEmu Terminal?
I'm trying to set up 2 terminal location tabs to open in my ConEmu Terminal on Windows 10 (for Windows Linux Subysystem)
1. Windows Home Directory
C:\Users\USERNAME
or...
%USERPROFILE%
and
2. Linux Home Directory
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Lxss\home\USERNAME
or...
%LOCALAPPDATA%\lxss\home\USERNAME
The Window Home path works fine, but I'm not sure how to make the Linux Home path work? The closest I can get is to making it open up the root /
location.
Does anyone know the right way to do this?
I stumbled upon the article "Bashing Windows" (By: Jan De Dobbeleer),
which led me to this answer.
The main trick is the ~
(tilde) when opening the bash shell.
Home (Linux)
BASH (path):
C:\Windows\System32\Bash.exe ~
(has tilde ~)STARTUP DIRECTORY (path):
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\lxss\home
Root (Linux)
- BASH (path):
C:\Windows\System32\Bash.exe
(no tilde) - STARTUP DIRECTORY (path):
C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\lxss\root
Home (Windows)
- BASH (path):
C:\Windows\System32\Bash.exe
(no tilde) - STARTUP DIRECTORY (path):
C:\Users\<YourUserName>
