gh (GitHub's CLI): the -w flag no longer opens a browser window from WSL

Question

I'm on Windows 10 Pro, I run headless Ubuntu in WSL and in Ubuntu I run this command:

gh pr create -w

Initially, the -w flag used to open a create PR link in the browser on the host OS.

But it no longer does. I have to scroll up, find the link, copy it and paste into the browser. Annoying!

How do I fix it?

Answer 1

This resolved my issue:

gh config set browser wslview

Alternatively, this can be added to .bashrc:

export GH_BROWSER=wslview
