What is git bash change directory?

Git bash is a Microsoft Windows program that serves as the emulation layer for the Git command-line experience. A shell is a terminal program that helps one to communicate with their operating system by typing commands. Bash is a commonly used Linux and macOS default shell.

On the Windows operating system, Git Bash is a package that installs Bash, its tools, and Git.

Methods of changing the current working directory

Use the cd command along with the directory name to change the files. Then, to double-check the new route, print the existing working directory again. One may, for example, change the “documents” directory to an existing documents directory in their home directory and then verify that the new working directory has been changed. Since Bash knows the entire path of the current working directory, one can use the cd.. command to return to the parent directory of any current directory. One may also use the cd~ command (the character known as the tilde) to return to their home directory at any time.

Methods to change the folder in Git Bash

• pwd can be used to search the current folder

• You will need to use quotation marks if the path includes spaces ( cd “C:/Program Files”)

• On Windows, you can change the default starting directory of Git Bash.

• "Change directory" is a good way to recognize the cd command.
