Any suggestion will be very helpful for me, thank you !

Answer 1

Path expansion is different in each shell.

For PowerShell use: ${pwd}

For cmd.exe "Command Prompt" use: %cd%

bash, sh, zsh, and Docker Toolbox Quickstart Terminal use: $(pwd)

Note, if you have spaces in your path, you'll usually need to quote the path.

Answer 2

seems like the window command prompt does not interpret $PWD , you have to use gitbash or powershell I think. or another option is to use full path or current path.

The flag -v "${PWD}:/data" creates the directory /data inside the docker container and makes the current working directory "${PWD}" available there. The file /data/berlin-latest.osm.pbf inside the container is referring to "${PWD}/berlin-latest.osm.pbf" on the hos

Answer 3

pwd is a linux command to get the current path, you need to set the full path in windows, i am not sure about %cd% you may try it

I have no windows to test, but maybe this will work: set a varibale named PWD

SET PWD="C:/bla/bla"

and then run your command without {}
