This command copies the file named configure-wsl
from the directory /mnt/c/temp/
to the current user's home directory (~/
). Here's a breakdown of the command:
sudo

: Thecp
command is used to copy files or directories./mnt/c/temp/configure-wsl
: This is the source file being copied. It's located in the/mnt/c/temp/
directory, which refers to a Windows directory (C:\temp
) mounted in the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL).~/
: This represents the home directory of the current Linux user. It's the destination where the file will be copied.

from the specified location in the WSL-mounted Windows file system into the current user's home directory in the Linux file system.
