Basic git bash alias config

I'm very new to Git and having trouble setting a basic alias.

When I set the alias in .gitconfig file

[alias]
    tech="cd c:/wamp/www/technology/"

and then try to call git tech

I get the following error

Expansion of alias 'tech' failed; 'cd' is not a git command

Thanks for any insights.

This sounds like more of a shell alias rather than a git alias.

You'd want to set this up in your ~/.bashrc (or similar, depending on your shell). But, in bash, it would be:

alias tech="cd c:/wamp/www/technology"
