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.

       With  g.mapset, the shell history (i.e. .bash_history file of the initial location will be
       used to record the command history.

NOTES

       By default, the shell continues to use the history for the old  mapset.   To  change  this
       behaviour  the  history  can  be  switched  to  record in the new mapset’s history file as
       follows:
       # bash example
       history -w
       history -r /"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history
       HISTFILE=/"$GISDBASE/$LOCATION/$MAPSET"/.bash_history

EXAMPLES

   Print the name of the current mapset
       To print the name of the current mapset, use the -p command as shown below:
       g.mapset -p

   List available mapsets
       To list available mapsets, use the -l command as shown below:
       g.mapset -l
       This should list all the mapsets, such as: "landsat new PERMANENT user1."

   Change the current mapset
       To change the current mapset to "user1" use the following command:
       g.mapset mapset=user1 location=nc_spm_08_grass7
       You should receive the following message: "Mapset switched. Your shell  continues  to  use
       the history for the old mapset."

   Create a new mapset
       To create a new mapset, use the -c tag as shown below:
       g.mapset -c mapset=new location=nc_spm_08_grass7
