PWD

The best way to get around the path change problem with Docker for Windows.

Why?

The purpose of pwd is to detect the equivalent path of the current directory if it were mounted inside a docker container. Since Docker does a path transformation from Windows to Linux, it can often be useful to know this path in advance.
