Hey Folks,

I've been working with Script Kit and encountered concerns regarding my local environment. Specifically, since I'm using Linux within Windows through WSL2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux), I was worried about executing the necessary commands for my workflow.

Upon contacting John, he suggested using the following environment variable to enable command execution in WSL:

# The value should be the full path to wsl, this is what is needed on windows 11.
KIT_SHELL=C:\Windows\System32\wsl.exe

After implementing this variable, I was able to run my commands in WSL. This is particularly useful for me as I can now start my docker environment with a single command.
