Sharing the SSH Folder Between WSL and Windows

By default, SSH configurations for Windows and WSL (Windows Subsystem for Linux) are handled separately. However, managing different SSH settings for Windows and WSL can be cumbersome. To simplify this, you can unify the SSH configuration by managing it on the Windows side and creating a symbolic link in WSL.

Here’s how to share the SSH folder between WSL and Windows:

# Replace {username} with your actual username.
$ ln -s /mnt/c/Users/{username}/.ssh ~/.ssh

By doing this, you can use the SSH folder from Windows within WSL, streamlining your SSH management.
