Always blue git-tracked files because no WSL support for git executable on Windows
Answered
Path to git configuration in intellij: jetbrains://idea/settings?name=Version+Control--Git
related issue: https://intellij-support.jetbrains.com/hc/en-us/community/posts/206907125-Git-showing-changed-files-but-not-on-command-line
I basically have the same issue as the above linked post except I can't actually set my git executable to the correct one because I'm using WSL 2 and IntelliJ 2020.4 (most recent version) only lets me look on my C drive for a git executable, as opposed to my git file in linux
$ which git
/usr/bin/git
note: c drive in WSL is in /mnt/c/ and therefore there's no way for me to reference /usr/bin/git
I think that this is something jetbrains has not accounted for, WSL users, in git. Please fix.

Note that Git executable in WSL could be added only since IntelliJ IDEA 2020.2 which is in Beta now and will be released soon: https://www.jetbrains.com/idea/nextversion/
