I am usually trying to use the cygwin terminal to move to a nested directory. The problem is the windows directory are not immediately interpreted.
So I had to do two step:
$ cygpath -u "C:\Develop\blah\blah\blah\too_deep\"
/cygdrive/c/Develop/blah/blah/blah/too_deep/
$ cd /cygdrive/c/Develop/blah/blah/blah/too_deep/
I need to convert the path first then paste the result to change it.
I tried to use redirect but it does not work. Any ideas?
$ cygpath -u "C:\Develop\blah\blah\blah\too_deep\" | cd
=> No results.

Try this:
The $(command) construct does a command substitution and is replaced with the output of the command.
