How do I get Windows 10 Terminal to launch WSL?

Question

I\'m using the new Windows Terminal, and trying to get it to launch my WSL terminal. This is the setting that I\'m trying to use:

        {
            \"acrylic         


        

Answer 1

The premise of the question was fouled by the mistake with the GUID, as the OP says the sample code was actually correct. So, the question could be re-interpreted as--

What is the minimum required change to the default settings.json to point to an application of your choosing? (which is what got me here)

1. guid - has to be unique. I've had success with changing just the last number for each customization.

2. commandline - From within Bravo Yeung's answer is a link to a sample settings.json file: "commandline": "wsl ~"

This little bitty value is made possible by setting a default distro: "The default WSL distribution is the one that runs when you run wsl on a command line:"

wsl --setdefault <DistributionName>

However, seems commandline:wsl doesn't work with startingDirectory. I've successfully omitted commandline in favor of source + startingDirectory:

// Make changes here to the cmd.exe profile.
"guid": "{long-guid-here}",
"hidden": false,
"name": "Debian",
"tabTitle" : "WSL (Debian)",
"source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl",
"startingDirectory" : "C:\\Users\\myuser"
