Why doesn't calling C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe via PowerShell with a command pass to it work?

Question

PowerShell

I execute the command:

& 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe' 'cd /e/Git/Project && git pull' | Out-String

I get the output:

sh.exe : /usr/bin/bash: cd /e/Git/Project: No such file or directory
At line:1 char:1
+ & 'C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe' 'cd /e/Git/Project ...
+ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    + CategoryInfo          : NotSpecified: (/usr/bin/bash: ...le or directory:String) [], RemoteException
    + FullyQualifiedErrorId : NativeCommandError

In this case, if you open the command line and call:

"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\sh.exe" -c "cd /e/Git/Project && git pull"

then everything works great.

How to call all this correctly through PowerShell?

Answer 1

Why not just run
"C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe" ? why else a layer of sh ?

cd e:/Git/Project
& "C:\Program Files\Git\bin\git.exe" pull
