[windows] Want to download a Git repository, what do I need (windows machine)?

To change working directory in GitMSYS's Git Bash you can just use cd

cd /path/do/directory

Note that:

  • Directory separators use the forward-slash (/) instead of backslash.
  • Drives are specified with a lower case letter and no colon, e.g. "C:\stuff" should be represented with "/c/stuff".
  • Spaces can be escaped with a backslash (\)
  • Command line completion is your friend. Press TAB at anytime to expand stuff, including Git options, branches, tags, and directories.

Also, you can right click in Windows Explorer on a directory and "Git Bash here".
