How to use Windows network paths with Git Bash
You need to associate a drive letter to the network path you want to use. To do this, execute the following command in the Windows cmd
shell:
pushd \\servername\share\path\to\folder
The next prompt will carry the assigned drive letter, e.g. Z:\path\to\folder
. Now, open Git Bash (it will not work with an already running instance) and go to the new created drive letter:
cd Z:/path/to/folder
or equally
cd /z/path/to/folder
