I was trying to navigate to my drive location E:/Study/Codes in git bash in windows. In command prompt in order to change drive I use E: It returns an error in git bash.
bash: E:: command not found.
How do I change my current directory location from /c/users to E:Study/Codes
In order to navigate to a different drive just use
cd /E/Study/Codes
cd /mnt/e/Study/Codes to navigate to that folder.
/mnt/... notation mentioned by @ponir above the drive letter case was an issue for me...
Just consider your drive as a folder so do cd e:
cd e: works but the autocomplete doesn't. It only autocompletes if I use cd /e/.

TL;DR; for Windows users:
(Quotation marks not needed if path has no blank spaces)
Git Bash: cd "/C/Program Files (x86)/Android" // macOS/Linux syntax
Cmd.exe: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android" // windows syntax
When using git bash on windows, you have to:
Git Bash: cd "/C/Program Files (x86)/Android" // macOS/Linux syntax
Cmd.exe: cd "C:\Program Files (x86)\Android" // windows syntax
How I do it in Windows 10
Go to your folder directory you want to open in git bash like so
After you have reached the folder simply type git bash in the top navigation area like so and hit enter.
A git bash for the destined folder will open for you.
Hope that helps.
git part and just did bash. Also, my /C: directory is /mnt for some reason. No idea why. Regarding the above questions, I have the linux box for windows 10+ enabled. You might be seeing that crashing on bash command if you haven't enabled bash.
bash works for me! Windows 10 1803 windows-subsystem for linux (WSL) with Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

In order to navigate to a different drive/directory you can do it in convenient way (instead of typing cd /e/Study/Codes), just type in cd[Space], and drag-and-drop your directory Codes with your mouse to git bash, hit [Enter].
G: is actually //tsclient/G

Another approach, which worked for me even though none of the above (didn't try the GUI approach, tbf) did. As per super user, try:
e:
That's it. No cd. works in gbash and windows cmd.
I tried various forms, and finally, This worked for me:
cd /e/
Now which drive letter did that removable device get?
Two ways to locate e.g. a USB-disk in git Bash:
$ cat /proc/partitions
major minor #blocks name win-mounts
8 0 500107608 sda
8 1 1048576 sda1
8 2 131072 sda2
8 3 496305152 sda3 C:\
8 4 1048576 sda4
8 5 1572864 sda5
8 16 0 sdb
8 32 0 sdc
8 48 0 sdd
8 64 0 sde
8 80 3952639 sdf
8 81 3950592 sdf1 E:\
$ mount
C:/Program Files/Git on / type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/Program Files/Git/usr/bin on /bin type ntfs (binary,noacl,auto)
C:/Users/se2982/AppData/Local/Temp on /tmp type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,usertemp)
C: on /c type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
E: on /e type vfat (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
G: on /g type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
H: on /h type ntfs (binary,noacl,posix=0,user,noumount,auto)
... so; likely drive letter in this example => /e (or E:\ if you must), when knowing that C, G, and H are other things (in Windows).
Just write cd E:Study/Codes and it'll work.
I'm not sure why but in my git bash I had to include the colon for the drive letter
cd c:/inetpub/wwwroot/blah
The way to do it on Windows 10 is
cd /D F:\path
Do not forget to write /D in front of the path in order to change drives.
To change from C drive to D drive in git bash
cd /D
