Bash to Cmd Cheatsheet

A cheatsheet of the command prompt version of commonly used bash commands because I’m tired of googling these.

Open cmd

Windows Key + R to open the Run program and type “cmd” and then hit Enter to open a new Command Prompt shell.

cd

Lucky you, this is just cd!

pwd

echo %cd%

or just,

cd

ls

dir

cat

type nul > your_file.txt

mkdir

Lucky you, this is just mkdir!

touch

type nul > your_file.txt

clear

cls

diff

FC file1.txt file2.txt

exit

Lucky you, this is just exit!
