No Such File or Directory using SQLite with Git Bash

Question

I am very new to SQLite3 (very new). I am following a tutorial on how to create a database using SQLite3, and I am trying to run it with Git Bash. When I enter the command cd /c/sqlite in Git Bash, however, I get the error "no such file or directory". I am using PyCharm, so my python file is in users>myname>pycharmprojects (if this has anything to do with it). I am very sorry if this is a simple solution, but I am just beginning.

I think it's added to the PATH on installation. Can you try typing just sqlite3 at the Git Bash prompt? — mechanical_meat

Ah, I saw a related post: stackoverflow.com/a/37352276/42346 maybe that will work for you. — mechanical_meat

Oh, I should've thought of this before: you may not have the command-line tool installed. The sqlite3 module comes with Python, but to access SQLite outside of Python the command-line interface would need to be installed. — mechanical_meat

I found the solution! So Git Bash was not recognizing sqlite3 because I didn't have sqlite in the proper file directory. So what I did was create a new folder in my C: directory (where Git Bash was looking), place my python file in that folder, and execute the following commands in Git Bash:

Amari@DESKTOP-myDesktop MINGW64 ~
$ pwd
/c/Users/amari

Amari@DESKTOP-myDesktop MINGW64 ~
$ cd /c/sqlite

And there it is! It worked!
