Fixes #2107

Note that this does not affect the container workflow alpine-test.yml workflow (that is, it doesn't affect actually running the test suite in Alpine Linux, which continues to work), only WSL in Windows jobs in the main workflow pythonpackage.yml.

This PR is a bit earlier than might be implied by my wording in #2107. It turns out there is at least one other PR that is effectively blocked only on this: the lint error shown in #2105 is something I can fix once this CI blocker is resolved.

I plan to merge this once CI passes.

Sorry, something went wrong.

Uh oh!

For gitpython-developers#2107. Note that this does not affect the container workflow
`alpine-test.yml` workflow (that is, it doesn't affect actually
running the test suite in Alpine Linux, which continues to work),
only WSL in Windows jobs in the main workflow `pythonpackage.yml`.

Pull request overview

Updates the main GitHub Actions workflow to use a Debian WSL distribution on Windows runners again, avoiding the current Alpine download/403 failures and unblocking Windows CI.

Changes:

  • Switch WSL distribution from Alpine back to Debian in pythonpackage.yml.
  • Remove Alpine-only additional-packages: bash configuration.

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.
