pwd : Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop

insted of

pwd : \Users\hp\OneDrive\Desktop

i'm new to bash and dont know how to do it

Solution

  • As I said in my comment, I don't see much practical use for getting your working directory path with the first charcter removed, but if you want to have it, you can do it by ${PWD:1}, i.e.

    echo "${PWD:1}"
