There's a script inside which downloads a .tar or .tar.gz image from Docker Hub. In fact, it can be more than just one .tar/.tar.gz, that's why bsdtar.exe is included in this repo, because it is responsible for 'merging' all .tar/.tar.gz files together. Then, one big .tar/.tar.gz is created (if it's needed, we don't have to do this thing if the image contains just one layer) and can be easily exported as a WSL distro.

--help / -h -> list all available commands --name / -n -> name for your distro --distro / -d -> id of the distro in the sources.json file --path / -p -> path where you want to place your .vhd (it's basically how WSL distros work, they're .tar/.tar.gz files turned into .vhd with Linux filesystems)
