🐧 WSL2 Management Tool (WMT) 🐧

Clone, export, import your WSL2 distributions — with optional compression of `.tar` files into `.zip` files.

---

🚀 Features

• Simple graphical interface in WinForms
• Cloning of a WSL2 distribution with choice of folder
• Export .tar with automatic compression option to .zip
• Import of a .tar or .zip to a new name/disk
• Automatic checks (disk space, existing name, etc.)
• 7-Zip support if available, otherwise native .NET fallback

📦 Installation

No installation required! Download the .ps1 script, run it with PowerShell (preferably as an administrator):

.\WMT.ps1

📸 Snapshots

Here's a look at the WMT (WSL2 Management Tool) interface :

Running the Script with "Mark of the Web" policies :

If you encounter issues running WMT.PS1 due to PowerShell execution policies, you might need to:

1. Unblock the file: After downloading and extracting the script, right-click on WMT.PS1, go to Properties, and if you see an "Unblock" button or checkbox at the bottom of the General tab, click it and then OK. Alternatively, from PowerShell:

   Unblock-File -Path ".\WMT.PS1"

2. Set Execution Policy for the current process (recommended for ease of use): Open PowerShell, navigate to the script's directory, and run:

   Set-ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Scope Process -Force    
   .\WMT.PS1

   This change only affects the current PowerShell session.

⚠️ Requires WSL2 to be active with at least one distro installed.

🛠️ Dependencies (optional)

• 7-Zip (for more efficient compression)
• PowerShell ≥ 5.1 (pre-installed on Win10/11)
• Windows 10 / 11 with WSL2 enabled

💡 Tips

• .zip compression is automatic after export if the option is checked.
• The import directly accepts .zip files (unzipped in the background).

✅ Roadmap (v0.2.x)

• Unified GUI interface
• Command line mode (headless)
• Auto-detection of corruption in archives
• Batch mode for scheduled backups
