How to download git repositories into Ubuntu WSL2 to run it in VS Code?

I have installed Ubuntu WSL2 and have been working on some projects on Visual Studio Code for a while now. But I am unable to fetch the downloaded Git repositories from Windows.

I am expecting if there is a way to open downloaded Git repos in Ubuntu WSL2.

Maybe you can access this repos directly from windows. For example C:\Users\username can be accessed from, let's say Ubuntu wsl2 this way /mnt/c/Users/username. So in theory that should be enough. If you are using visual studio code the plugin remote wsl will help.

In windows open the control panel and from there click power options and from there you will see change advance settings and then there will be a line written "change setting that are currently unavailable ". Then untick the first option (it will include something about PC). I hope it helps.

So, when you want to open any git repo in WSL terminal you need perform following commands in WSL terminal:

    $ git clone repo-link
    $ cd repo-name
    $ code

After the following command, the cloned repo will open in both WSL terminal and VS code as well.
