KEYWORDS¶

SYNOPSIS¶

g.mapset g.mapset help g.mapset [-cl] [mapset=string] [location=string] [ gisdbase=path] [--verbose] [-- quiet]

Flags:¶

Parameters:¶

mapset=string

 

Name of mapset where to switch

location=string

 

Location name (not location path)

gisdbase=path

DESCRIPTION¶

g.mapset changes the current working MAPSET, LOCATION, or GISDBASE. This is a fairly radical maneuver to run mid-session, take care when running the GUI at the same time.

NOTES¶

The shell continues to use the history for the old mapset. To change this you can switch the history to the new settings by commands:
history -w
history -r /"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
HISTFILE=/"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history

SEE ALSO¶

g.gisenv g.mapsets
