Windows 10 - Using Git Bash With TMUX

Why Not Use WSL?

I tried the WSL and it isn't quite seamless enough for me. I ran in to problems when editing in VSCode and having watchers on my files (ng serve, dotnet watch run, etc.). In addition, I kept running in to problems that only manifest themselves when running in WSL. For example, this issue with doing production builds and the terser plugin has made many a developer rage-quit on using WSL. Just figuring out that it was an issue with the WSL took a lot of time.

That terser plugin issue was never resolved and I ended up having to keep a git bash window open in addition to my WSL console window so I could do production builds. To make matters worse, my npm packages were platform-dependent so I couldn't use the same project folder. So, my procedure was: commit whatever changes to test branch, push to repo, git pull on my "windows" project folder, and do a production build there

Download

Go to https://store.rg-adguard.net.
Search for the HEVC Video Extensions from Device Manufacturer (Microsoft.HEVCVideoExtension) app by entering the following store URL.
```
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/hevc-video-extensions-from-device-manufacturer/9n4wgh0z6vhq
```
- Do not use the normal HEVC Video Extensions app URL, because that can't play HEVC videos in Windows Media Player for some inscrutable reason.
Download the AppxBundle file.
- You may have to right click › Save Link As because the URL scheme is http, not https, if your browser is set to enforce HTTPS-only mode.

If it tries to save as a filename that's just a GUID, you may copy the correct .AppxBundle filename and save it as that instead.

Installing Star Wars: Battlefront II with Legendary

The game is not installed or downloaded via Epic, instead the Epic Games Launcher launches Origin to link your account to install the game. This can be done manually to still be able to install and download the game without the Epic Games Launcher.

Installing Origin

Origin needs to be installed and working for this, please consult https://github.com/lutris/docs/blob/master/Origin.md for how to get it running on Linux via Lutris.

On Windows Origin just needs to be installed and ideally updated to the current version.
