cd(path)

Input: path · Output: no output

What it is

Changes the working directory to path (a Str) for the whole process, so every later relative path in the script resolves from there. Errors if path does not exist or is not a directory, rather than leaving you somewhere you did not expect. To run one command elsewhere without moving the script, use exec's cwd= instead.

Overloads

One call shape — this function is not overloaded.
