This might be an issue with Git Bash for Windows.
I am trying to create an alias with parameters to enter some workspace to the specific project directories. However, it seems to have some whitespace issues for Visual Studio Project directories. I tried to double quote the variable, but the error output is rather ambiguous because copying the the cd output works on the bash window.
VS="/c/Users/name/Documents/Visual\ Studio\ 2015/Projects"
alias wkp='function _b(){ cd "'${VS}'"/$1; };_b'
It outputs
bash: cd: /c/Users/name/Documents/Visual\ Studio\ 2015/Projects/: No such file or directory
Working on a regular alias it will be fine, but I will need to cd again into the specific project directory.
alias workp='cd /c/Users/name/Documents/Visual\ Studio\ 2015/Projects'
Is there a reason why whitespaces with backslash and double quote in the parameter won't work for bash functions?
