SYNOPSIS
g.mapset
g.mapset --help
g.mapset [-clp] mapset=name [location=name] [dbase=path] [--overwrite] [--help] [--verbose] [--quiet] [--ui]

  Flags:

  Parameters:

mapset=name [required]
    Name of mapset (default: current search path)
    Name of mapset where to switch

location=name
    Location name
    Location name (not location path)

dbase=path
    GRASS GIS database directory

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. For Bash:

history -w
history -r /"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
HISTFILE=/"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
