Note (Windows Only)

A note regarding Windows: You want to use Windows WSL and you want to clone this repo into the Linux filesystem. If you clone this repo into the Windows file system (NTFS) you are highly likely to experience obscure issues caused by a sub-par implementation of file change notifications. See article "Docker Desktop on WSL2: The Problem with Mixing File Systems" for more details and how to avoid this problem.
