Thanks to all.
I was able to get it to work with "/c/my directory name"

Getting confused on something. From bash terminal I can change
directory like so:
$ cd /c/directoryname
But if the directory has multi words it does not recognize the directory:
$ cd /c/my directory name
Is there a way to get cygwin to recognize multiple names in a directory?
Either surround the whole path in quotes, or use a backslash character
'\' before each space:
cd "/c/my directory name"
cd /c/my\ directory\ name
Or use zsh instead of bash (zsh auto-tries concatenating multi-argument
names into a single-argument directory containing spaces), or write a
bash function for cd that tries 'command cd "$*"' when $# > 1.
