Developing with containers on Windows

Using host-bound volumes when running linux containers on a windows host comes with considerable overhead. Using myw_product build and myw_product watch within a container becomes impractical. By following these steps, you will be able to checkout and access your source code within WSL2, and cut on the need to access the windows host at all.

To complete the tasks described in this appendix, you require administrator access to the computer.
