Temporarily change current working directory in bash to run a command [duplicate]

You can run the cd and the executable in a subshell by enclosing the command line in a pair of parentheses:

(cd SOME_PATH && exec_some_command)

Demo:

$ pwd/home/abhijit$ (cd /tmp && pwd)  # directory changed in the subshell/tmp $ pwd               # parent shell's pwd is still the same/home/abhijit

bash shell terminal working-directory

bash has a builtin

pushd SOME_PATHrun_stuff......popd

bash shell terminal working-directory

Something like this should work:

sh -c 'cd /tmp && exec pwd'
