I am brand new to using the command line so bear with me. I am not able to access my Desktop from my root directory. The furthest I can get is /home/sam and then there isn't anything from here. I have tried /home/SAM/Desktop and starting from /. The only way I can access folders is using /mnt/c/Users/Sam/Documents/. However, I believe this is storing items in a mounted drive, which is causing my endless problems when trying to run repositories via VS Code. Any help is appreciated!

This question describes a lot about how the 2 filesystems overlap with each other. A trick I tried was setting your $HOME variable to /mnt/c/Users/Sam/Documents/ or creating a symlink in /home/sam that points to that C share:

ln -s /mnt/c/Users/Sam/Documents/project.git /home/sam/project.git

That saves you some typing.
