I'm following the guide and I am noticing that code tunnel -h in a ubuntu terminal window just launches the code UI. Using the command palette to get the URI results in a tunnel to my Windows version of VSCode rather than the WSL:ubuntu (which is the one I care about)

How do I fix this?

    Weird that code tunnel -h launches the code UI. The docs say: "You may explore tunneling-specific commands with: code tunnel -h" Commented Feb 6, 2023 at 0:54
  • @user exactly (that is how I knew to run it)! I think that documentation is written for Windows directly, not WSL2? Commented Feb 6, 2023 at 12:51

It appears that, for now, you need to manually install the CLI in WSL in order for it to work. The downloads can be found here. Since you are on Windows, I would recommend the x64 CLI download. When you extract the tar.gz file, you will get a file named code. I would recommend moving it to your home directory for ease. To open the tunnel, run ./code tunnel (from wherever you put the code file) to force the new CLI. If you use code tunnel it will still use the Windows version.
