CD in root not working..

[jovvybersamin]

When i am in the one of the directory of my root directory and i want to go back to the root directory using this command "cd ~" it is not working however when i am using git bash its running fine.

its said the system cant find the path specified..

[MartiUK]

Because ~ being aliased to $HOME is a feature of bash, cmder runs cmd.exe or powershell which supports ~ .

[jovvybersamin]

then how to overcome this problem in cmder?.

[MartiUK]

Use %HOME% instead of tilde or use PowerShell (in cmder it's ALT + SHIFT + 2)

Not have any chance to add this feature in cmder?

[MartiUK]

@brunobatista Unless Microsoft release the source code of cmd.exe or you switch to powershell or bash, no sorry.

Ok, thanks for reply @MartiUK 👍

**Hello everybody , may you all be having an amazing day when you read this.

I just started to learn Git and I downloaded Cmder.

When I want to find anything in it , I get this message that says:

"The system cannot find the path specified"

Can anybody help me to fix this problem , please ?

As a consequence of this I can not find any project because my
Cmder is not finding the location of the folder it is at in the first place.

Thank you everybody!

This a picture of my actual cmder acting up:**

You need to specify the correct paths for those folders there is no desktop folder or documents folder inside cmder

[daxgames]

Try

Cd ..\desktop

Or

Cd "..\my documents"

Thank you very much for your response daxgames , I really appreaciate it.

I tried :
cd %userprofile%/documents and it worked.

But I still don't know how to access my files , check this out:

I have a folder called PROT inside a folder called HTML , in Documents ,
both with capitals.

I want to access the contents of PROT , but when I get there and type "1st",
I get an error , any light on this , man ? , here is the picture of it:

[daxgames]

I dont know what 1st is. Type dir and post the output

[Battlegriffin]

Dude , I can see the contents !

I do want to say thank you because I did not know how to do that before you
told me , thanks a lot for that man.

On the other hand , what I want to do is to run the javascript file "prot.js" in the
Cmder , would you please give me your thoughts on how to do that?

Thanks a lot , man , here is the output of the command you gave me to try :
