## What These Scripts Do

1. **Setup Script**: Installs WSL2, configures SSH server, sets up port forwarding (2222→22), and creates firewall rules
2. **Update Script**: Automatically detects new WSL2 IP and updates port forwarding rules
3. **Connect Script**: Simplifies SSH connection from Mac/Linux with proper port and formatting

All scripts include error checking and colored output for easy troubleshooting.
