VS Code notes

WSL I/O error

If seeing this error then from within the WSL terminal, run 

rm -r ~/.vscode-server
to delete the VS Code WSL server. Exit the terminal and from your PowerShell/Cmd, run 
wsl --shutdown
Then you can go back to WSL and run code . and it should work normally.

Git hooks

Create a .githooks directory in the repo and then instruct git to use it to run the hooks:

mkdir -p .githooks
git config core.hooksPath .githooks

Ensure executable bit set

Ensure any Git hooks that are then created have a chmod +x run on them otherwise they will not be marked as executable and will not run on Linux systems (it doesn't seem to be an issue on Windows).
