Trying to get the current working directory is a good starting point for debugging purposes at least whenever you are ssh-ed into a CI/CD server agent or likewise. So here’s the tip.
Prerequisites
- Shell environment
Solution
If you are running any shell environment such as bash, shell, zsh, or even powershell, run:
pwd
However, if you are trying to print the current dir from Windows CMD, you have to run cd instead which is a bit confusing since the same command in other shell environments will take you to your home directory, being equivalent to: cd ~.
