Using Unix sockets with WSL2 on Windows Store -> How to Use Unix Sockets with WSL2 on Windows Store
Hey there! So, I've been using WSL2 with a yubikey for gpg, which is pretty sweet. Basically, this setup uses a Unix socket to Windows gpg-agent and pageant (if you're curious, you can find all the details in this GitHub repo: https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant). It's been working great for about a month or so, until I recently installed the Windows Store version for WSLg support on Windows 10. But now, my WSL2 isn't talking to the Win gpg-agent anymore. I've searched GitHub for answers, but no luck yet. Figured I'd post here and see if there are others in the same boat or who might have some tips on this pesky socket issue. Thanks!

If you want to use Yubikey from WSL2 (socat passthrough), install gpg4win 3.1.16, NOT the latest (4.0) one
You should use the latest wsl2-ssh-peagent, which has a new --gpgConfigBasepath option to allow you to specify the .gnupg directory in Windows.

Tell HN: GitHub no longer supporting unauthenticated `git://`
sshCommand = C:/utils/OpenSSH-Win64/ssh.exe
For GPG, the only things I've done is to use gpg-agent and set up a passthrough for gpg-agent to WSL2 for both OpenSSH and GPG via https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant/ since I do development both natively on Windows and via WSL2.

SSH Agent Restriction (new in OpenSSH 8.9)
Yeah, I've been using a Yubikey for a bit over a year and I'm already a huge fan of the way it works with SSH/Git. It's a bit more of a pain to set up with WSL2 since you need something like https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant but it's absolutely worth the setup time.

How to use Windows ssh-agent on a WSL2 distribution to avoid entering SSH key passphrases?
I use PuTTY's pageant and https://github.com/BlackReloaded/wsl2-ssh-pageant to share keys between environments but you still need to enter your passphrase at power-on. Window's ssh-agent looks like a better solution. No need to re-enter the passphrase and no need to keep the private key around.

Ask HN: Is doing .NET development on a Mac viable today?
ADO works fine for me. Have you installed git-credential-manager[1]?

Tell HN: GitHub no longer supporting unauthenticated `git://`
https://github.com/GitCredentialManager/git-credential-manag... (comes bundled with Git for Windows; you can install it for macOS). SSH is also an option on both platforms, though historically a bit harder on Windows than elsewhere.
(Disclosure, two of the core maintainers of GCM are GitHub employees, though GCM's goal is to work well with any Git host.)
What are some alternatives?
wsl-ssh-pageant - A Pageant -> TCP bridge for use with WSL, allowing for Pageant to be used as an ssh-ageant within the WSL environment.
git-credential-manager - Secure, cross-platform Git credential storage with authentication to GitHub, Azure Repos, and other popular Git hosting services.
sshuttle - Transparent proxy server that works as a poor man's VPN. Forwards over ssh. Doesn't require admin. Works with Linux and MacOS. Supports DNS tunneling.
windows-fido-bridge - An OpenSSH SK middleware that allows you to use a FIDO/U2F security key (e.g. a YubiKey) to SSH into a remote server from WSL or Cygwin.
