Poof! Linux Firefox running via Xming on your Windows 10 desktop! For example, you could install Firefox in BUW, and run it. Note that this little “trick” also seems to work well for other graphical linux apps. Git + gitk on Bash on Ubuntu on Windows… on Land on Country on Earth on Space on Universe! Either close and restart Bash, or run the same export command at the shell prompt to set the DISPLAY variable for your current session.pico ~/.bashrc (or if you prefer, vi ~/.bashrc).All that’s left is to tell BUW where to find the X Server so linux apps can draw pretty windows with a GUI and everything: Run Xming, preferably as an administratorĬongratulations!

Well, despite Microsoft’s claims that BUW doesn’t support running graphical apps in separate windows, you can do this very easily. It’s all seamless and glorious, and no more bloated nasty ultra-fancy Git for Windows nonsense…īUT, it would be really nice to have gitk, don’tcha think? You can grab a git repo, edit the files locally in Windows or with vi in Bash, and then push your changes using git in Bash. Note that your local Windows hard drives are accessible at the following paths in Bash: You can now configure git and use it as you would on a dedicated linux box, or via VirtualBox or VMware. Since BUW is just an Ubuntu shell running in a sort of “reverse-WINE” on top of Windows, you just install stuff like you normally would in Ubuntu linux. If you don’t, things like ping won’t work in Bash! Install git IMPORTANT: Right-click your Bash on Ubuntu on Windows icon on the desktop or taskbar, choose Properties, and set it to Run as administrator. Ta-DA! You now have Bash on Ubuntu on Windows.

When you’re done, you’ll probably listen to Microsoft when they say “no GUI stuff!” on bash… But actually, you can set yourself up with a lovely development environment including git – and even gitk – right in Windows.Īnd it’s much easier than you might think… Then, you’ll need to manually install Bash on Ubuntu on Windows to get your bash prompt. If not, you can check out my post on Bash for Windows 10.įirst, you’ll need to make sure you have the Windows 10 Anniversary Update, which you’ve probably received automagically by now.
