How can I store my own path in cygwin?

Question

It's always a bit tedious to go from $HOME to some directory to run something, so is there a way I can save a directory to like $MYPATH and do cd $MYPATH from anywhere?

Answer 1

This is what you want http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/setup-env.html

so everytime you start a session you can

export MYPATH="path where you want to go to"

alternatively you can save the above line in the ~/.bashrc this way when you start a new session, the variable is set automatically
