Nothing to clone: it downloads the signed scripts, verifies them, and installs WSL first if it's missing. Already have a clone? `.\wsl-comfort\install.ps1` works too. The Linux half (`comfort-shell-bootstrap.sh`) is standalone, so you can also copy it onto any Ubuntu host and run it directly.
 What you can pick

- Optional **Starship** prompt.
- Optional modern CLI tools: `fzf`, `rg`, `fd`, `bat`, `eza`, `zoxide`, `jq`.
- Optional clipboard and `open` shims (`pbcopy`, `pbpaste`, `open`).
- Optional **Home
