About this plugin

Working inside WSL means constantly juggling three path notations: /mnt/c/Users/..., C:\Users..., and \wsl$\Ubuntu\home.... Humans and AI agents alike trip over the mix-up. dsh-wsl-path tackles exactly that friction—feed it an absolute path on either side and it returns the equivalent on the other, with direction auto-detection when you are not sure.

Its core tool, path_convert, takes a path and an optional direction (auto, toWindows, toLinux). Beyond a raw string swap it appends a short primer on drvfs versus the native Linux filesystem, covering the CRLF line-ending, chmod, and git quirks that catch most people off guard, so you understand why the two sides behave differently.

It is a good fit if you develop in WSL, shuttle files between the Linux terminal and the Windows desktop, or prompt an AI agent to handle cross-system paths and want the conversion plus the filesystem caveats delivered in one step.

Use Cases

  • Copying a WSL path into a Windows application
  • Letting an AI agent auto-convert between Linux and Windows paths
  • Debugging CRLF, chmod, and git quirks under drvfs

Best For

  • Frontend and backend developers working in WSL
  • Developers who use AI agents for cross-system file tasks
  • Daily users shuttling files between Linux and Windows
