I am getting 'pwd' is not recognized as an internal or external command operable program or batch file when I am trying to check my present working directory from cmd.

I have already set the environment variable path. Still I am getting the issue. ping, cmd is working fine.

Please help. thanks in advance

pwd is a linux command, won't work in windows.

In windows just run cd without passing any arguments

  • This works on my windows development machine. It works in cmd.exe. I'd be interested to know why it works. I did install Git Bash. – P.Brian.Mackey Nov 19 '18 at 20:02

'pwd' works on "windows Powershell" instead of "command prompt/cmd" from windows 10

If you are using JupyterLab, !pwd is unacceptable as it is for the the linux, for window use pwd ,instead.
