Setting alias with git bash

Question

I've amended my .bash_profile to include :

gen='c:\\mydir\\"test dir"\\new'

but when I run "$gen"

receive error : sh.exe" cd c:\\mydir\\"test dir"\\new

The dir exists and running cd c:\\mydir\\"test dir"\\new successfully navigates to this dir.

Is alias set correctly ?

Answer 1

Try this one (works for me):

gen='/c/Program Files'

Open a new git bash window (so the changes can be loaded):

cd "$gen"
