You need to source the file as: . myfile.sh or source myfile.sh Without sourcing the changes will happen in the sub-shell and not in the parent shell which is invoking the script. But when you source a file the lines in the file are executed as if they were typed at the command line.
To change into another directory use WORKDIR. All the RUN, CMD and ENTRYPOINT commands after WORKDIR will be executed from that directory. RUN git clone XYZ WORKDIR “/XYZ” RUN make
There is no need to know where the files are, because when you launch a bat file the working directory is the directory where it was launched (the “master folder”), so if you have this structure: .\mydocuments\folder\mybat.bat .\mydocuments\folder\subfolder\file.txt And the user starts the “mybat.bat”, the working directory is “.\mydocuments\folder”, so you only need to write … Read more
$ cd “$DOCS” You need to quote “$DOCS” to prevent spaces from being parsed as word separators. More often than not, variable references should be quoted. Note that $HOME would have the same problem.

The command starts a separate program, which inherits its current directory from your program, but when that program exits its current directory dies with it. You can use && to join the commands together, and it will work: system(“cd /D C:\\Users\\USER\\Desktop && mkdir … Read more
There is no executable called cd, because it can’t be implemented in a separate process. The problem is that each process has its own current working directory and implementing cd as a separate process would only ever change that processes current working directory. In a Java program you can’t change your current working directory and … Read more
One way to run a process from a different directory to the working directory of your Java program is to change directory and then run the process in the same command line. You can do this by getting cmd.exe to run a command line such as cd some_directory && some_program. The following example changes to … Read more
You can change the working directory with: import os os.chdir(path) There are two best practices to follow when using this method: Catch the exception (WindowsError, OSError) on invalid path. If the exception is thrown, do not perform any recursive operations, especially destructive ones. They will operate on the old path and not the new one. … Read more
