When using Git for Windows "git bash" on Windows, how to conveniently print the working directory in Windows path representation, e.g.

D:\foo\bar

similar to using 'pwd' to get the Unix representation

/d/foo/bar/

such that the path can be read by Windows explorer and cmd console?

In Git Bash:

$ cmd //c cd
C:\Program Files\Git

Note the double slash. And for forward slashes, as mentioned in the comments:

$ pwd -W
C:/Program Files/Git
