@rogersachan Currently we only support MinGW and Cygwin. We can take this as a feature request

Please support this!
This make VSCode easier to use in Windows 10

++ on this!
This would make using windows for developing cross-platform software a lot more feasible

The Anniversary Update is now out! This at least gives you all some reason
to support Bash for Windows, no?

+1 for this.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. There is currently a limitation in Windows that is preventing us from doing this correctly. We are waiting on the Windows team to finish off their work.

@delmyers Will the new Windows 10 Creators Update allow this?

Windows team recently introduced improvements in symbolic link creation on windows, will that help with this?
