How to add WSL-Ubuntu shell to Github Desktop shells list?

Question

I want to use WSL-Ubuntu-Shell in the GitHub desktop app. In the Desktop App for GitHub, there is only Powershell, cmd, and Git Bash. How to add WSL-Ubuntu-Shell?

Answer 1

One way to do this would be to install the Windows Terminal, which is available as a shell option in GitHub Desktop.

You can then set up Windows Terminal to open WSL. This thread explains how.

The shell integration documentation of GitHub Desktop mentions that support for WSL is now available in the beta version. Alternatively, the docs also explain how to add a shell of your choice by modifying the code appropriately.
