How to open a wsl directory in git bash terminal

Question

I want to open this \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu wsl directory in git bash terminal. My git bash terminal is currently open in /c/Users/DELL directory.

I tried \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu pasting this command in the bash shell, but it throws error saying that bash: \wsl.localhostUbuntu: No such file or directory .

Can anybody help me opening that in git bash terminal.

Few days back i managed it to open that in git bash, see this image

But now I am unable to do so, don't know how I managed to do so earlier

Run this command:

cd //wsl.localhost/Ubuntu

The command \\wsl.localhost\Ubuntu didn't work, because

1. Bash removes backslashes while parsing the command (solution: use forward slashes: /).

2. You didn't indicate that you want to change the current directory, without that Bash interpreted your command as running an external program by that name (solution: use the cd command).
