How do I get to d:\apps from c:\

b40d-48b2-979e 9 days ago | [–]

It depends on your shell. I think MINGW bash has `/mnt`? maybe it's just `/c`, `/d`, etc.? but for cmd, it's the command `cd D:\apps && D:` and powershell handles it gracefully with one command for drive changing `cd D:\apps`

So cd /path/to/ and cd /d c:\path\to\d:\path\?
