Summary
Automatically configures Git identity (user.name and user.email) inside WSL distros by reading the values from the Windows host's Git config during bootstrap.

Solution
git config --global user.nameanduser.emailfrom Windows during bootstrapgit config --globalcommands for the admin user inside the distroChanges
