title: Forward slash vs backward slash for file path in git bash
body: <p>I am running these two commands in <strong>Git bash</strong>.</p>
  
  <p>Why they behave differently? Aren't they supposed to do the same thing or am I missing something?</p>
  
  <pre><code>git diff &gt; D:\Patches\afterWGComment.txt  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>creates file <code>PatchesafterWGComment.txt</code> in <code>D:/</code> </p>
  
  <pre><code>git diff &gt; D:/Patches/afterWGComment.txt  
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>correctly creates file <code>afterWGComment.txt</code> in <code>D:/Patches/</code></p>
  
  <p>Note that <code>D:/Patches/</code> folder is present before running the above commands.</p>
