How do I pass an absolute path to the adb command via git bash for windows?
adb, bash, git, msys, windows
Solution
According to this answer, the MSYS shell is mangling the file name according to these rules. According to the mangling rules, the following should work for you:
adb push myfile '//mnt\sdcard\'
(replace the first slash with two slashes and all remaining slashes with a backslash)
Problem
I'm trying to pass a unix style path to the Android adb command using a git bash (msysgit) but the shell is interpreting my path incorrectly. This is what I've tried so far: ``` $ adb push myfile /mnt/sdcard/ failed to copy 'myfile' to 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/mnt/sdcard/': No such file or directory $ adb push myfile "/mnt/sdcard/" failed to copy 'myfile' to 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/mnt/sdcard/': No such file or directory $ adb push myfile '/mnt/sdcard/' failed to copy 'myfile' to 'C:/Program Files (x86)/Git/mnt/sdcard/': No such file or directory ``` What is the correct way to do this?
