How do I change my Git home folder?

How do I change my git home folder? Currently my git folder is located in my %AppData% folder. I store my projects in my C:\Projects folder. I would like my git bash to start up in my C:\Projects folder and whenever I cd to my home directory (cd ~) I want it to navigate to C:\Projects.

Solution

  • Maybe this is what you want:

    cd /c/projects

    EDIT:
    if you want it to start up within this directory, then just do this in cmd(admin):

    setx HOME "C:\Projects"

    after this you need to restart git-bash.
    To test variable enter this in git-bash:

    echo $HOME
