Go – How to change the current working directory in go

Here, We will see how to change the current working directory in go. We can do it by using Chdir() function in os package in go golang.

Function prototype:

func main() {

  currDir, err := os.Getwd()

  if err != nil {

    fmt.Println(err)

    return

  }

  fmt.Println(currDir)

  err = os.Chdir("/Users/joe/go-project/go-workspace/bin")

  currDir, err = os.Getwd()

  if err != nil {

    fmt.Println(err)

    return

  }

  fmt.Println(currDir)

}

Output:
