# GoWSL

This module offers an idiomatic interface between your Go code and the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) API (`wslApi.dll`  and occasionally `wsl.exe`). It offers wrappers around common actions to manage WSL distros.

## Aim

We aim not to extend the aforementioned API, but rather to provide a safe, idiomatic, and easy-to-use wrapper around it. The goal is to enable the development of applications that build on top of it.

## Requirements

- Windows Subsystem for Linux must be installed ([documentation](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/install)) and enabled.

- Go version must be equal to or above 1.20.

## Development

Your help would be very much appreciated! Check out the [CONTRIBUTING](./CONTRIBUTING.md) document to see how you could collaborate.
