Where is the Git Bash `/` directory?

When I open Git Bash on Windows 7, the default directory is /. It has *nix-style subdirectories, and cd .. doesn't change the directory. Where is this directory on my Windows machine?

The directory C:\Program Files\Git\ has similar contents, except that / has a proc subdirectory, and C:\Program Files\Git\ doesn't.

I put dir /s /a git-bash.exe in cmd.exe, and it only came up with the git-bash.exe in C:\Program Files\Git, no other one (such as the one in /).


Solution 1:

In Git Bash, open Windows Explorer with this command:

explorer .

You will then see your current directory in the explorer address bar

Solution 2:

You can run cmd from the current directory in Git Bash. That will start a windows cmd shell, which will show the windows path in the command prompt. Then type exit to return to Git Bash.

For example:

$ cmd
Microsoft Windows ...

C:\Program Files\Git>

(This is also a quick way to convert unix path to windows path.)
