where cmder.exe
C:\cmder\Cmder.exe

Configuration

User config

Individual user Cmder root folder is set with

cmder.exe /C %user_root_path%
user_root_path\
             ├───bin
             └───config
             └───profile.d

same as ??

mklink /D "C:\cmder\config" "C:\Dropbox\config\Cmder"

The launcher copies the conEmu.xml file into cmder\vendor\conemu-maximus5\ConEmu.xml so it does not get overwritten. See cmderdev/cmder/issues/695

Cmder /REGISTER ALL

In order to get bash started in the current directory:

C:\cmder\vendor\git-for-windows\bin\bash.exe  -new_console:d:%CMDER_START%

Directory tree

Root

# The root path
/
# is
C:/cmder/vendor/git-for-windows

tmp

echo %TEMP%
C:\Users\GERARD~1\AppData\Local\Temp

Support

Bash and slash

If a parameter has a /, it seems that it replace it with

Example: with the following parameter /mediawiki/page/title (an Xpath), I got in return C:/cmder/vendor/git-for-windows/mediawiki/page/title

One work around is to use two slashes //
